Last year at this time Bill Cleary's icemen were packing up for home and the annual Yule festivities with a spotless, undefeated, untied record through five contests. The squad had outscored its opponents by a whopping 35-14 and ranked number one in the East and number two in the nation. There would be no coal in the icemen's stockings...
...payouts, like Los Angeles' Security Pacific National Bank, are turning to employee profit-sharing plans as a more rational way to spread good fortune around. But 1971 was not a particularly cheery profit year, and workers whose bonuses are tied to corporate earnings may find it a cruel Yule instead.

In fact, Christmas is about the only area of our culture in which angels survive at all. An archangel, Gabriel, told the Virgin Mary that she would bear the son of God; it was an angel (progenitor of a billion Christmas cards) who appeared...
...imagine. All the historical scenes that he recreated, whether of a picnic or a town at a particular moment in time, were painstakingly researched not only for topography but also for the costumes of the ladies and the shape of the horse-cars. His picture of bringing the Yule log into a Baltimore house is a scene that ostensibly portrays Blair's father and himself as a small boy. It is a scene that never was - the family never -lived in Baltimore...
