...Conn., 170 miles closer to the equator. But one resident, TIME Associate Editor Christopher Byron, is an ardent stoveowning votary. Byron, whose guide to new heat-saving gadgets accompanies Skew's story, has two wood stoves in his home. He adds: "I have fitted the house with every form of insulation and heat-saving device short of an IBM 370 to run the furnace." Among them: storm windows, weather stripping, a new DOUG BRUCE fuel-efficient oil furnace and a clock-timer thermostat that shuts off the furnace at night. "The temperature drops by only 15° with...

(It has just been released in a street-shrewd, roughhouse movie adaptation. The sound track, remixed...
Some things, however, remained unchanged. The Who continued to battle among themselves, drawing sustenance from friction that often flared into spot fires, blazing quickly and suddenly like canyon conflagrations in Los Angeles. Everyone had quit the group at one time or another. In 1965, Daltrey left, vowing to form another group, and came back a week later. "I thought if I lost the band I was dead," he says now. "I realized The Who was the thing, the reason I was successful. I didn't fight any more ... for a couple of years." Townshend, however, was not trying as strenuously...
