...INVITATION was for a tree-trimming party. With Christmas fast approaching, it conjured up images of spruce and holly, punch and sugar cookies, and strings of popcorn and berries. All of these were, in fact, present when I arrived at Radcliffe President Matina Horner's house, but without their usual emotional accompaniment--the exuberance and communality that tends to infuse holiday gatherings.

GOGOL'S THE MARRIAGE is not a children's play. It has no fantastic characters, like the playing-card Queen of Alice in Wonderland; it doesn't move with the slapstick speed of Punch and Judy.

Some Pentagon experts contend that a design breakthrough will permit the small missile to be moved about on a heavily armored vehicle dubbed the Armadillo. This launcher would be anchored when firing and be stable enough to handle the missile...
Thanks to People's competitive punch, the airline's stock has more than doubled, from 11 to 24 5/8 per share, over the past year. Donald Burr may still be working seven days a week, but his 9% share of the company stock is now worth $17 million. And the customers keep coming out of the woodwork. Says Burr: "We're getting people who wouldn't have traveled to New York to see a show, or buy clothes. If they did, they would have driven or taken a train." These days, at least on People Express...
