The short list is the abbreviated form of the long list, containing only
the "really essential" items.  i.e.-- I have a looong list of CD's I would
like to buy, but Talk Talk's "Spirit of Eden" and Love's "Forever Changes"
are on my short list.

Toby or not Toby; that is Jack and Wendy's question about the existence of
