Outside major cities (where a cord of firewood can cost up to $90) good hardwood, such as ash, hickory, oak, hard maple, beech or black locust, can be had for little or nothing.

Geri Harrington, a lively Connecticut woman who has written an excellent new guide, The Wood-Burning Stove Book (Macmillan; $12.95), lists many other sources of free wood, such as utility companies, which constantly...

Last week, however, blasphemy was once again at issue in the oak-paneled Court No. 8 at London's Old Bailey. The defendants: Gay News (circulation: 20,000), a fortnightly newspaper for homosexuals, and Denis Lemon, 32, editor of the periodical, who came to court with a button saying GAY NEWS FIGHTS ON in the lapel of his conservative three-piece gray suit. The offense: publishing a poem by James Kirkup, in which a Roman centurion describes his sexual relations with the body of the crucified Christ. Prosecutor John J.
