This year Xmas is going to be on the mailman. During the entire holiday stampede, we do not intend to stick one toe out of the house to buy anything. (Well, maybe the odd beaker of Beefeater, says Father.) Has doddering senility finally overtaken your parents? By no means. We have, rather, been enveloped by Efficiency, Luxury and Modernity. We have succumbed to the Mail-Order Catalogue, which in our youth was something that farmers used...
...such numbers may or may not show, the choice between a very independent Republican and a liberal Democrat will not be an easy one for voters.

...York, Columbia's top executive, President Alan Hirschfield, expressed an emotion rare in Hollywood: shock. Although he loved the glamour and glitz of films-Hirschfield once broke his toe tripping over the edge of a Jacuzzi while staring at Actress Polly Bergen-he was, as colleagues observed, a classic "bottom-liner" who frowned on peccadilloes like theft and forgery. After a period of indecision, the Harvard-trained executive saw no other alternative: Begelman...
