...autumn harvesting hardwood on his property, hauling it home in his temperamental pickup truck and burning it efficiently in his five-count 'em, five-woodburning stoves. The trend he pioneered in New London and discusses in this week's story has become a way of life for Skew's neighbors. Says he: "You get parties up here where home are not talking about adultery or Iran, but about the superior quality of their wood stoves.

Johnny Carson confesses on TV that he is having a harder time with his opening monologues; Art Buchwald, who gets most of his humor columns out of topical events, hasn't done a single column about Iran.
