To save money, Rocky Nelson of Lincoln, Neb., plans to make most of her Christmas presents by hand this year, and she is giving each of her two married children a certificate redeemable for a night of free baby-sitting. "It used to be 1,001 presents under the tree," she said. "This year, Christmas is going to be a little skimpy present-wise."

INTERNATIONAL A3-13 U.S. MOVES TO RECOGNIZE UKRAINE President Bush has decided to recognize an independent Ukraine "expeditiously" if the second-largest Soviet republic breaks with Moscow in a referendum on Sunday. The decision represents a major shift in American policy away from the central Soviet Government. Page A1 KHMER ROUGE CHIEF ASSAULTED Screaming "murderer" and vowing to "kill the monster," a mob of revenge-seeking Cambodians beat and bloodied Khieu Samphan, a senior Khmer Rouge leader, and forced him to flee to Thailand only hours after he returned to the Cambodian capital under the auspices of a United Nations peace treaty. A1 U.N. BACKS YUGOSLAV PEACE FORCE The Security Council pledged to send a peacekeeping force of up to 10,000 soldiers to reinforce the fragile cease-fire in Yugoslavia if the warring Serbs and Croats show they really want peace. The council had to overcome the reservations of many countries worried about creating a precedent by intervening in what is essentially a civil war. A1 ISRAEL REBUFFS U.S. ON TALKS In a blunt challenge to the United States, Israel rejected an American call for a new round of peace negotiations in Washington next week. It proposed instead that the talks be delayed for five days and then moved quickly to a new site in or near the Middle East. A1 U.S. officials admit Middle East peace efforts are in trouble. A10 U.S. AND IRAN REACH SETTLEMENT The United States has agreed to pay Iran $278 million to compensate it for undelivered American-made military equipment bought by Teheran before Iran's 1979 revolution. American officials denied that the deal reached in The Hague was linked to the fate of three remaining American hostages. A3 DEMAND FOR LIBYANS' EXTRADITION The United States and Britain increased pressure on Libya, demanding that it surrender the two intelligence agents who have been charged with the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. No deadline was set for compliance and there was no mention of possible retaliatory steps. A3 Moscow Journal: Cold-turkey capitalist vs. timid reformers. A4 Bishops meeting in Rome on rebuilding church in Eastern Europe. A13 Haitians are in limbo at a new American tent camp in Cuba. A6 The A.N.C. is accused of a secret transition deal with Pretoria. A12 NATIONAL A16-21, B14-18, D20-22 BILLIONS MORE IN BAILOUTS Hurrying to wrap up legislation before adjourning until January, Congress approved two bailout measures totaling more than $100 billion: one for the nation's banking industry, the other to continue the Government's rescue of hundreds of savings and loan associations. A1 FORETASTE OF A COMING BATTLE Preparing the ground for a showdown with President Bush next year, Congressional Democrats announced a series of public hearings in December on tax policy and the state of the economy. D20 News analysis: How the tax-cut issue emerged. D20 The crime bill was passed by the House but died in the Senate. D22 Congress approved new rules on Medicaid financing. D20 Reporter's Notebook: At Capitol, the hours were few, but very long. D21 HE WAS SURE YOU'D ASK White House Memo: As an episode this week made clear, the President has many of his exchanges with ordinary citizens scripted by aides, so that questions are known in advance and the answers are readily at hand. A16 A SOLDIER'S STORY In Vietnam one day 23 years ago, a surgeon tried to save the life of a young soldier with both legs nearly blown off, damaged eye tissue and extensive head injuries. The surgeon succeeded, but for years he wondered to what end. Now he has some answers, as does the soldier. A16 DOROTHY, THE WIZARD AND GOD At the annual convention of the American Academy of Religion, scholars rushed to sessions on topics like reincarnation in Hinduism, Ugaritic ritual texts -- and the religious significance of "The Wizard of Oz." A16 WHERE DID AIDS COME FROM? In a provocative hypothesis that has startled experts, an Oxford University researcher has proposed that AIDS may have entered the human population in a bizarre series of malaria experiments. B14 A PROFESSOR'S PAST Events of half a century ago have become a center of controversy at the University of Chicago, where a visiting professor has been accused of writing anti-Semitic views as a young woman in Nazi Germany. B16 The text of the President's Thanksgiving Day proclamation. B18 Maryland proposed linking welfare to "greater personal responsibility."

The class gives the students English, and brings them closer to making America their home. A1 BUSINESS DIGEST D1 The Home Section Sailing through a skyful of Thanksgiving reveries.

INTERNATIONAL A3-21 UKRAINE ISSUE IRKS MOSCOW The Government of President Mikhail S. Gorbachev expressed pained surprise at the Bush Administration's reported plan to recognize the Ukraine if the republic opts for independence in a vote on Sunday. A1 European nations are not rushing to embrace the Ukraine. A20 MEXICO DRUG EFFORT UNDER SCRUTINY Cooperative efforts by the U.S. and Mexico to fight illegal drugs are under new scrutiny following the killing of seven Mexican narcotics agents by army soldiers who may have been facilitating a shipment of cocaine. A1 NIGERIA BEGINS A HEAD COUNT Nigeria has closed its borders, shut down shops and factories, and ordered millions of people to stay home in a large-scale effort to count Africa's biggest population. A7 ISRAEL'S REBUFF TO U.S. With its announcement that it will go to Middle East peace talks in Washington, but at its own pace, Israel is sending a message to the United States: there are no more co-sponsors in the process. A16 Syria accused Israel of sabotaging peace talks. A16 Beijing sees progress toward relations with Israel. A3 KHMER ROUGE STICKS WITH PLAN Despite a brutal attack on their leader, the Khmer Rouge rebels said they would abide by a United Nations peace plan for Cambodia. A3 BLOODSHED IN SOMALI CAPITAL Artillery and rocket barrages have turned Mogadishu into a grisly battlefield, with about 6,000 civilians wounded and as many as 1,000 killed, aid workers say. A12 SCATTERED CLASHES IN YUGOSLAVIA A cease-fire accord between Croats and Serbs was still being violated in various parts of Croatia, but the fighting has lessened. A21 Catholic bishops in Europe acknowledged Judaism's contribution. A13 NATIONAl A22-32, D6-7 FLU VACCINE SHORTAGE Because of warnings in October about the potential for a severe flu outbreak, an unusually heavy early demand developed for flu shots, and now the nation is on the verge of running out of vaccine just as the worst part of the flu season is beginning. A1 PROMISING BIRTH CONTROL DEVICE In the year since Norplant was approved for use in America, about 100,000 women have had the five-year contraceptive implanted under their skin. Now health and family planning officials say the devices work well, and they are predicting wide use. A1 AN IMMIGRATION RUNOFF Nineteen million applications were received for 40,000 available slots in an immigration lottery last month. Now the Government has begun notifying 50,000 applicants that they were winners, meaning they are in a race to acquire the necessary documentation. A22 A HAITIAN HAVEN In rural Indiana is a family consisting of a time missionary couple and their adopted children: 28 of them. The couple, who could not turn away the pathetic, orphaned babies that kept arriving at their door in Haiti, now live in an old schoolhouse. A22 CONGRESS EXITS, GRUMPILY In the end, although it was creaky and it was cranky, the 102d Congress managed to finish work on some significant legislation. Still, it was a session that will be remembered more for its embarrassing flaws than its accomplishments. D7 President Bush warned Congress to plan to work on the economy. D6 CLOUDY ECONOMIC CRYSTAL BALLS To a rare degree, even the experts who daily track the economy are deeply divided over what is now happening. Indeed, the normally cocky fraternity of forecasters has begun to sound uncharacteristically nervous. D1 NEW WARNING ON BANK FUND The Government's top auditor says that the additional money provided by Congress to handle the banking crisis will not be enough and that it could be completely used up by the failure of just one large bank. D1 Sixty-seven women won an 18-year suit against the Navy. A24 A free Thomas Sutherland celebrated Thanksgiving with family. A27 Detroit agreed to allow a demonstration by the homeless. A28 Missouri is back in court in another right-to-die case. A29 Law Page D12 Does a beach have a "right" to the sand that's on it? At the Bar METROPOLITAN Digest, B1 MAJOR DROUGHT FEARED With reservoirs at only 49.4 percent of capacity, officials say New York City is facing the worst water shortages in more than a decade. But the public, they say, is not concerned enough yet to begin serious conservation efforts. A1 RALPH MARINO'S QUANDARY The Republican majority leader in the New York State Senate is in perhaps the best position of anyone to make Governor Cuomo's life miserable if he decides to run for President. But Ralph Marino is also responsible for reaching a budget agreement with the Governor that his members can live with. A1 A SAMARITAN'S TRAVAILS A Bronx businessman helped a nearby school clean up a vacant lot.

All was serene in Giants land today as Coach Ray Handley laughed and wisecracked about his walkout in Monday's news conference. That aside, all was not well. There was good news about Jeff Hostetler, the quarterback who suffered three broken bones in his back in Sunday's 21-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He left a Tampa hospital and flew home in a private plane.

Of the last two Presidents, one is widely regarded as a master of the unrehearsed news conference who delights in sparring with the most aggressive members of the press. The other was viewed as a genial politician who excelled at reading speeches, but frequently tripped when forced to think on his feet. Question: Which of the two has many of his exchanges with ordinary citizens scripted by aides so that questions are known in advance and answers are readily at hand?
