WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1982; Companies

By Unknown Author

Citicorp of New York acquired Fidelity Savings and Loan of California. Citicorp acted within hours of Federal Reserve Board approval of the acquisition. The Fed's decision, which may affect interstate banking guidelines, ended intense lobbying by Citicorp to establish a position in California's booming deposit market. (Page D1.) Massey-Ferguson said its lenders have tentatively agreed to restructure its $1.27 billion debt by exchanging a large part of the principal and interest for equity in the company. Analysts, though they consider the accord essential for the survival of the company, are still doubtful that it can withstand continuing sales declines. (D1.)

WORKAHOLISM: PAYING THE PRICE

By Jane E. Brody

A 33-YEAR-OLD doctor was recently taking a six-month vacation, spending his days playing tennis, skiing, reading books, going to plays and museums, camping out and generally discovering, as he put it, ''what life is really all about.'' He explained that all his life he had worked to please his parents and mentors. He studied hard in college and harder in medical school and went on to complete two medical residency programs and get board certification in both specialties. Last spring he took a camping trip with his wife and a group of experienced campers and discovered that he was ''a dud.'' ''I didn't know anything about anything,'' he said. ''I had nothing to contribute. All I'd ever done was work.'' ' The doctor was a workaholic, and when he realized the extent and consequences of his addiction, he decided to do something constructive about it before life had passed him by. Most workaholics never have such revelations; when they do they are unlikely to do anyhing about them. Working long and hard is the way they know and love and they see little reason to change. Contrary to popular notions about work addicts, all are

FAVORITES FROM THE 60-MINUTE GOURMET

By Pierre Franey

ALMOST all the recipes that have run in the 60-Minute Gourmet over the years have been innovations of one sort or another. Some were pure creations, dishes that were not based on anything I had read about or dined on before; they were stimulated instead by a particular occasion or an item of food that was on hand. Others have been improvisations, coming from dishes that I have either heard about or recall from my travels here and abroad. Still others are reproductions of dishes that I first cooked as a professional chef or have known about since childhood.

A VINTAGE YEAR TO START A WINE CELLAR

By Frank Prial

If you've ever dreamed of having your own wine cellar but put it off, delay no longer. Prices are down on almost all wines and there is a good chance that they will go even lower in the next six months. The biggest reductions so far are in European wines, mostly because of the strength of the dollar. But the California wines are following suit. If you have been waiting for bargains, your time may have come. In any case, it's not a bad idea to pause for a moment to think about what to buy before charging off to the spirit shop, checkbook in hand. To ease decision making, herewith a hypothetical cellar made up of $1,000 worth of wine. It certainly isn't the definitive wine cellar; the possible combinations are infinite. But it should meet most wine fanciers' expectations in some areas if not all. A wine collection is, after all, personal. It reflects the taste and the financial condition of its owner just as much as a library of books or a house full of pictures.
