...find most shocking about AIDS: it has become comprehensible. Friends have been dead for 15 years. Worthy organizations like the American Foundation for AIDS Research and Gay Men's Health Crisis (G.M.H.C.) own buildings with serenity gardens, and the red ribbon symbolizing AIDS awareness appears on mugs, Christmas-tree ornaments and beach towels while remaining a fashion challenge for Oscar-night actresses in strapless gowns.

...guests this year is the thinking man's proletarian, Dennis Franz, who swings by Martha's Connecticut home for a glass of punch). Throughout her holiday special Martha preaches cheap elegance, counseling us to wrap our gifts in inexpensive tulle and tissue paper, showing us how to make tree ornaments out of tin. "I'm trying to get back to handmade stuff," she declares. "Christmas is too rushed, too harried, too expensive."
