CHRISTMAS SPECIALS. The networks, suffering economic woes, have cut back on holiday specials this year, but not on their time-warp wholesomeness. None is cuddlier than Dolly Parton: Christmas at Home (ABC, Dec. 21), in which the country singer twangs I'll Be Home for Christmas -- and is. Disney's Christmas on Ice (CBS, Dec. 21) brings Mickey and Minnie together with Katarina Witt and Tai Babilonia, while Richard Mulligan plays a small-town eccentric who meets an extraterrestrial (Beau Bridges) in Guess Who's Coming for Christmas?

These determined do-gooders are just a few of the ecokids, the new generation of conservation-conscious, environmentally active schoolchildren. The Earth Day ardor of their parents may be cooling, but these pint-size crusaders have lost none of theirs.

There was no denying that Soviet cooperation has been essential in keeping the pressure on Iraq -- by voting for sanctions, supporting the United Nations resolution permitting the use of force, and last week delaying...
Barbara's attempt to keep the spirit of peace and good cheer alive at a time of trouble is part of a long tradition. White House Christmases have often been bittersweet affairs. None was bleaker than the 1963 holiday, observed under the shadow of John F. Kennedy's assassination. Back in 1929, just a few weeks after the stock-market crash, Herbert Hoover's family was having Christmas Eve dinner when fire broke out in the west wing of the White House. As fire trucks clanged, Lou Hoover gathered her grandchildren and read them Christmas stories to calm their fears...
