...Alaska, where thinking hard to stay warm can be a requirement for survival, 258 residents?one out of every 2,000 souls, a rate higher than anywhere else in the U.S.?submitted ideas to a Department of Energy small grants program. Elizabeth Hart of Galena won $13,800 to build a solar greenhouse that will use the body heat of chickens as a source of warmth. R. Charles Vowell of Unalaska got $12,000 for a 10,000-gal. bio-gas generator that uses crab wastes from canneries to produce a burnable methane. Craig Anderson of Kenny Lake received...

...years of harassment and enforced idleness ended last week for Valery Panov, 35. The Kirov Ballet's great dancer and his ballerina wife Galena, 24, were finally issued emigration visas allowing them to go to Israel. The Soviet government agreed six months ago to issue a visa to Panov, who is a Jew, but not to non-Jewish Galena. However, Panov would not leave without his wife, who is expecting their first child. Committees in the West have been campaigning on the Panovs' behalf, and shortly before President Nixon's planned Soviet visit, the U.S.S.R. abruptly announced...
