...confusion about what carries religious meaning and what does not is easy to understand. My family Christmas tree has either an angel or a star on top, and these items do have religious significance. There is also the troubling figure of Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas. There is a Christian saint named Nicholas, but he did not live with elves at the North Pole. And while Advent calendars carry the name of the religious season, some contain a Bible verse or piece of the Bethlehem story each day, and some contain chocolates. But this confusion can and should be cleared...
Also expect to see a slew of original movies, including The Christmas Box, which first aired last year; the debut of the story's prequel, Timepiece, also starring Richard Thomas; A Holiday to Remember, a romantic drama featuring Connie Sellecca; and Mrs. Santa Claus with Angela Lansbury. The latter, a musical with 10 songs from Mame composer Jerry Herman, features Lansbury as a 1910 Santa's wife who, thanks to a sleighride gone awry, winds up managing an illegal sweatshop on Manhattan's Lower East Side...
Kelly's lawyer, Thomas Puccio, who successfully appealed the conviction of Claus von Bulow, has labored to convince the jury that the young woman was drunk and the sex consensual.

...interactive and quite disturbing ride of the first act looks like the Tea Cups compared to "Monkey Town," which might rightly be compared to Space Mountain. The act opens as a television broadcast hosted by a absurdly drunk Santa Claus (Lorenzo J. Moreno '00) and an amazingly facile and supinely cynical Rosemary Kennedy (Samantha S.B. van Gerbig '98). The applause signs signal the audience to cheer for Santa's anti-communist doings and Rosemary's front-lobeless plottings. Most of the rest of the show is reserved for an LSD-induced communist "Fantasia" which actually seems like a directorial reverie...
...Christmas coming early in 1996, or is this a cruel, costly hoax? President Clinton is traveling the campaign trail [Nation, Sept. 16] at taxpayer expense, carrying a bag full of tax-dollar promises with a hole in the bottom while making believe he's the Democratic Santa Claus. Bob Dole is wearing a Republican Santa suit and hauling around a similar bag of promises. But neither of these impostors can deliver his presents without a working majority of his elves in control of Congress after the Nov. 5 election. It's time the electorate faced up to the fact that...
