Exiled Soviet Writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn has not been heard from much since he settled last fall in Cavendish, Vt. (pop. 1,264), with his wife and children. The Nobel-prizewinning author rarely emerges from behind the wire fence protecting his secluded 50-acre estate. He did, however, request a luncheon with Vermont Governor Richard Shelling in Montpelier. Over Chateaubriand, Solzhenitsyn announced his plans to stay in Vermont-until the day comes when he can "return to a free Russia."

...most lugubrious request was a petition by the Salt Lake City Tribune and television station KUTV that the federal court should break the state's 82-year-old ban on press attendance at executions and let them, the Deseret News and two other TV stations cover Gilmore's death. There was a precedent for the claim since a Texas court ruled three weeks ago that a Dallas television station had the right to film an execution at the state prison.
