...things in life are more attractive than an open hearth fire-or less efficient. It is messy, requires continual attention, and sends perhaps as much as 90% of its heat up the chimney with the smoke. Most homeowners learn to live with such flaws. Lawrence Cranberg, an Austin, Tex., physicist went back to basic physics to correct them. He has designed a fireplace grate that forces a fire not only to burn better but to send more of its heat out into the room...
Ajemian is already deep into his seventh presidential season. For this week's cover story on Ronald Reagan's reach for the Republican nomination, which was written by Associate Editor Frank Merrick, Ajemian interviewed the candidate himself, while Correspondents John Austin, Jess Cook and Roland Flamini talked to Reagan's aides, friends and political adversaries.

DETENTE. Using rhetoric with a 1950s, Red-baiting ring, he regards Communism as "a form of insanity [that] is contrary to human nature." He is deeply suspicious of dealing with the Soviet Union.

This chap is actually an impecunious government clerk from St. Petersburg, but once he appears, sycophancy reigns supreme. Khlyestakov is a fop with the instincts of P.T. Barnum. He rooks the local suckers of all their ready cash, comes close to seducing the mayor's wife (Sloane Shelton) and daughter (Erin Ozker) and then blows town. Like the tolling of the bell of doom, a resplendent attaché arrives from...
...very bad deal indeed, at least in the opinion of Thomas Austin Preston Jr., a.k.a. Amorillo Slim, 46. Preston, who parlayed his 1972 victory in Las Vegas' World Series of Poker into a tour of TV talk shows and a movie role in California Split, was arrested by his home-town police in Amarillo, Texas, last week. Charged with felonious bookmaking on football games, the lanky, slow-talking gambler drew a short stay in Potter County jail before his release on $25,000 bail. "I was at the wrong place at the wrong time," complained Preston later, adding that...
