...people of Beatty, Nev., a mining town of 500, believe in lending a helping hand. More than 200 residents showed up for a special benefit dance at the town hall that was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and its Women's Auxiliary. They held a raffle, and auctioned off such homey items as stuffed pillows and Lazy Susans. All in all, the citizens raised $5,000 for Fran York, whose Star Ranch was gutted by a blaze back in November. Although Fran needs about $100,000 to get her business going again, $5,000 was a good...
...engagement than most of the abstract expressionists, Smith tried his hand at political propaganda with a set of Medals for Dishonor inspired by the Spanish Civil War, later with a number of drawings that tried, in effect, to do a Bruegel on fascism. These desolate landscapes, populated by knotty women copulating with cannon, are postsurrealist cliches-although they make clear Smith's erotic feelings about steel. Even so, they are full of the harsh, graphic intensity that would soon burst forth in his sculpture...
...heating power. Muller, a historian, is thankful that he studied engineering for a time since he has had to transform himself into a heating and weatherizing expert who can now discuss R-values* as succinctly as Vermont history, his specialty. In the winter of 1975-76, his 700-student women's college burned 360,000 gal. of oil to heat its 29 buildings. By last year, as the result of installing 900 storm windows at a cost of $41,000, the figure was down to 290,000 gal. Muller calculates that the college got back $20,000 of its storm...
...better inside: thermostats must by law not be set above a chilly 65° F in offices. The best defense against 9-to-5 frostbite is clearly the layered look. At the risk of violating stodgy dress codes, men are buying sweaters and knit vests to slip under suits. Women are snapping up fuzzy tights, pants rather than skirts, blazers and all kinds of sweaters, from shetlands and turtlenecks to cashmeres and one-of-a-kind bulky knits. Impulse buying is on the wane. "Shoppers are more money conscious this year," says a Chicago retailer. "They're going...
Marine Sergeant William Quarles, one of the 13 blacks and women released from captivity in the American embassy in Tehran in November, picked up a phone this month and heard a stranger say: "I know you feel guilty. Don't worry about it-it's normal." The man who impulsively made the call, Hank Siegel, should know. Siegel, a press officer for B'nai B'rith, was one of the 132 hostages taken by the fanatical Hanafi Muslims in 1977 when they occupied three buildings in Washington, D.C., for 38 hours. Because he had recently suffered...
