Solzhenitsyn, who lives in seclusion in Cavendish, Vermont, has agreed to speak at this year's Commencement after refusing earlier offers to speak at Harvard. Solzhenitsyn was unavailable for comment yesterday...
...wives, children and parents of political prisoners of conscience who need support," says Natalya. To help draw attention to his plight, the Solzhenitsyns set up a Ginzburg Defense Committee in the U.S., composed of artists, journalists and politicians. Last week Natalya left the secluded Solzhenitsyn estate near Cavendish, Vt., and flew to London to launch the committee abroad. Said she: "The case of Alexander Ginzburg should draw the attention of all people, irrespective of their political views...
...student of Van Vleck's. He extended the basic understanding of magnetism and explained the conducting properties of electrons in amorphous materials like glass, which do not have the patterned atomic structure of crystalline substances like silicon. Sir Nevill Mott, 72, former head of the famed Cavendish Laboratory at England's Cambridge University, provided the theoretical underpinnings of modern solid-state physics in the 1920s. His later work with amorphous materials led to development of the "Mott model," a theoretical framework for understanding the properties of semiconductors made from amorphous materials such as sulfur, selenium and tellurium...
...country, plans to attend the annual meeting in Clinton, Mass. (pop. 13,383), a manufacturing town north of Boston. Making his first public appearance since he settled in Vermont last fall, Soviet Exile Alexander Solzhenitsyn turned up last week at the meeting in the tiny town of Cavendish (pop. 1,264).

Exiled Soviet Writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn has not been heard from much since he settled last fall in Cavendish, Vt. (pop. 1,264), with his wife and children. The Nobel-prizewinning author rarely emerges from behind the wire fence protecting his secluded 50-acre estate.

Meanwhile he has been doing some writing in Cavendish, and plans to start a publishing house of his own, which will...
