Yet it is Dudko, not Patriarch Pimen, who has come to symbolize Christianity's will to survive in the officially godless nation. As much as any man in the Soviet Union, he has borne effective witness to the relevance of religion in a modern state...

A major roadblock during the past five months has been a bitter and largely nonpartisan free-for-all on Capitol Hill over the removal or retention of Government price controls for natural gas. Last week, just a year after Carter first invited the nation into the trenches, the gas deadlock finally appeared to have been broken and the energy program to have been given an urgently needed boost...

The New England Merchants National Bank of Boston recently introduced a maximum $10,000, low-interest Energy Saver's Loan, and the San Diego Federal Savings and Loan Association offers low down-payment mortgages for new houses that use some form of solar power. The Bank of America has made about 2,000 loans, totaling more than $3 million, on its solar financing program, almost all of them in California, where Governor Jerry Brown's ambitious...
