GODSTUFF: NO NEED TO LOSE FAITH, HOLIDAY SHOPPERS “Are those all CATALOGS?” I asked earlier this week, pointing to the pile, at least a foot high, of shiny periodicals balanced precariously on the dining room table.

Perhaps that’s because President Bush is hoping Santa Claus will bring him a new (or, ya know, any) strategy, along with a pair of nifty orange Crocks (size Medium), a Fisher Price Sing and Hum Baby Elmo,...
