Value-conscious consumers, of course, are not the only people paying premium prices. Some upmarket shopping is strictly self-indulgent and "Me Generation" snobbery. Candy consumption is down, but status-hungry consumers are still gobbling up items like Godiva, chocolates at $12 per lb. L'Oréal hair-care products push the message to shoppers: "L'Oréal is more expensive, and I'm worth it." Still, says Lord & Taylor Chairman Joseph E.

...Cart Man uses few words, The Story of an English Village (Atheneurm; $7.95) is totally mute. Still, John S. Goodall's watercolors are eloquent enough to carry the progress of a British town from medieval beginnings to its present state.

The congregation remains in dependent of the still suspect All-Union Council. A handful of parishioners are cleaning the church when our sleek black limousine arrives. It leads them to decide not to say who their leaders are, though they admit that all members who were imprisoned during the Vins days are back. Recalling the times when the congregation had to worship clandestinely in the woods beyond the city, an old woman remarks...
