THE catalogue of suggested Christmas gifts I got last month was not from an Elvison-velvet outlet. The section of gifts for adults offered quality cameras and binoculars, and enough travel accoutrements and aquarium fixtures to place their targeted customers in the disposable-income/desirable-suburb class. And, to judge by the reading lamps, they are also what America boldly calls “the highly educated.”
In other words, “nice” people. Or so I thought until I came to the section of gifts for children.
