Late Edition - Final Despite The Wig, A Bronx Boy At Heart BYLINE: By JEROME CHARYN. Jerome Charyn's new novel, ''Johnny One-Eye: A Tale of the American Revolution,'' is being published this month by Norton. SECTION: Section CY; Column 0; The City Weekly Desk; NEW YORK OBSERVED; Pg. 3 LENGTH: 959 words I GREW up in the rough-and-tumble Morrisania section of the East Bronx. I'm not sure when Morrisania's gangs began, but they were already there during the Revolutionary War. It wasn't patriots and Tories who battled it out in Morrisania during the British occupation of Manhattan, a period that lasted from 1776 to 1783, but their surrogates, called Skinners and Cowboys, who scalped men, molested women and murdered children of both sides. The gangs of Boston Road and Southern Boulevard circa 1950 weren't as mean and malicious, but I lived in a whirlwind of chaos nevertheless, where I was my own urban guerrilla who had to battle his way to school block by block. There were terrible racial and religious divides in Morrisania. I belonged to the little enclave of poor Polish and Russian Jews that collected at the borders of Crotona Park. There might have been physicists living in the Byzantine palaces of Crotona Park East, but they were failed physicists, men inhabiting some mysterious cocoon that no one could explain, least of all themselves. We had errant, bewildered entrepreneurs like my father, who manufactured toy bears that no one seemed to want and that he eventually had to pulp with his own hands. That curse of failure rubbed off on Morrisania's children, whose boisterousness was often the first signal of a cruel descent into silence. We all suffered from the same shortage of vocabulary, as if language itself had fled the Bronx, and curiosity had been bleached out of us. School was of little help. Our teachers had succumbed to the neighborhood's affliction, a kind of constant, sluggish sleep. Still, we had one hero, George Washington, a failed farmer, who though he came from Virginia could have been born in the Bronx. He had the sluggish silence of our borough. He was rescued by the Revolution, which turned him into a guerrilla fighter, living on the run. I wished him into being as my own father -- tall, with his striking nose -- a man who dispatched Redcoats rather than toy bears. Washington's stay in Manhattan was very short, from April through August 1776, at which point the British nearly captured him. But during those five months he often rode his white charger into the woodlands north of his headquarters on Harlem Heights to calm his own nerves. I liked to imagine him crossing the King's Bridge at Spuyten Duyvil Creek and galloping onto the mainland of the Bronx, then down to Morrisania, where he could have thwacked Cowboys and Skinners alike with his silver-handled sword. And thus I cemented him in my own mind as patron saint of Crotona Park. EVEN with all his heroics, this brooding giant wasn't enough to keep me in the Bronx. I crossed the Harlem River for the first time at the age of 14 to attend the High School of Music and Art, where I was suddenly introduced to a little nation of strivers, boys and girls who trembled with ambition. I had longed to become an usher at Loews Paradise or a shoe salesman at Thom McAn; they dreamed of Toscanini, Picasso and F. Scott Fitzgerald. I absorbed as much of their culture as I could and got into Columbia College. It was there that I encountered my brooding giant again. Given to such long silences, Washington had to depend on his wartime amanuensis, Alexander Hamilton, to write his letters and lend a certain song to his thoughts, and Hamilton was the favorite son of my college, with his own statue in front of Hamilton Hall. I did not like him. He was deceitful, as cunning as a snake. Washington was no match for his eloquence, his sway with words -- sadly, that sway was soon also mine; I had become a reader at Columbia, a voracious wolf who devoured Laurence Sterne and Jonathan Swift, and realized that the world was a poor substitute for my own little library, wherein I could wait a hundred pages for Tristram Shandy to get himself born or find Lemuel Gulliver on the ground with Lilliputians in his hair. A preference for the 18th century, with its measured music and mathematical wit, seemed an odd choice for a boy from the mean streets of Morrisania. But the comic nightmare of Sterne and Swift felt close to the sound and fury of my childhood and the gargoyles I had encountered in Crotona Park: pretzel vendors with Ph.D.'s, parkies who played the cello, high school dropouts who were writing their own dictionaries. Swift's mocking disregard for all sentiment had much more clarity than the psychological minefield of modern times, where some poor Gulliver in the land of six-inch men would be looked upon as a gigantic codpiece, akin to Kafka's cockroach. And within my 18th century, I could recapture George Washington, whose ghost had once loomed over me and my Bronx childhood. He was powerful in all his imperfections. He often stumbled, made mistakes, was reckless on his white charger. But he was also the last man on the last boat when his army retreated from Brooklyn Heights in late August 1776, during the battle of Long Island, one of the worst debacles of the war. A lesser general might have given up, but Washington had that wild tenacity of my borough. He was not ''voiceless,'' as I had thought, but a man with a welter of feelings under his dour demeanor. And I had to reconsider my former Bronx affliction, that brooding silence and sense of the void, of some empty space where language could not dwell. I realized that it was no affliction at all, but camouflage and a protective covering. My imagination had been born in those empty spaces. I had been a novelist at the age of 9, inventing journeys with George Washington, where I might cross the Bronx with him on his white charger and battle whatever Cowboys and Skinners were around. And that imagined journey hasn't failed me yet.

Late Edition - Final Silicon Valley Starts to Turn Its Face to the Sun BYLINE: By G. PASCAL ZACHARY. G. Pascal Zachary teaches journalism at Stanford and writes about technology and economic development. E-mail: gzach@nytimes.com SECTION: Section BU; Column 0; Money and Business/Financial Desk; PING; Pg. 4 LENGTH: 963 words CAN Silicon Valley become a world leader in cheap and ubiquitous solar panels for the masses? Given the valley's tremendous success in recent years with such down-to-earth products as search engines and music players, tackling solar power might seem improbable. Yet some of the valley's best brains are captivated by the challenge, and they hope to put the development of solar technologies onto a faster track. There is, after all, a precedent for how the valley tries to approach such tasks, and it's embodied in Moore's Law, the maxim made famous by the Intel co-founder Gordon Moore. Moore's Law refers to rapid improvements in computer chips -- which would be accompanied by declining prices. A link between Moore's Law and solar technology reflects the engineering reality that computer chips and solar cells have a lot in common. ''A solar cell is just a big specialized chip, so everything we've learned about making chips applies,'' says Paul Saffo, an associate engineering professor at Stanford and a longtime observer of Silicon Valley. Financial opportunity also drives innovators to exploit the solar field. ''This is the biggest market Silicon Valley has ever looked at,'' says T. J. Rogers, the chief executive of Cypress Semiconductor, which is part-owner of the SunPower Corporation, a maker of solar cells in San Jose, Calif. Mr. Rogers, who is also chairman of SunPower, says the global market for new energy sources will ultimately be larger than the computer chip market. ''For entrepreneurs, energy is going to be cool for the next 30 years,'' he says. Optimism about creating a ''Solar Valley'' in the geographic shadow of computing all-stars like Intel, Apple and Google is widespread among some solar evangelists. ''The solar industry today is like the late 1970s when mainframe computers dominated, and then Steve Jobs and I.B.M. came out with personal computers,'' says R. Martin Roscheisen, the chief executive of Nanosolar, a solar company in San Jose, Calif. Nanosolar shipped its first ''thin film'' solar panels in December, and the company says it ultimately wants to produce panels that are both more efficient in converting sunlight into electricity and less expensive than today's versions. Dramatic improvements in computer chips over many years turned the PC and the cellphone into powerful, inexpensive appliances -- and the foundation of giant industries. Solar enterprises are hoping for the same outcome. To be sure, Silicon Valley's love affair with solar could be short-lived. ''We've seen a lot of pipe dreams in the industry over the years, a lot of wild claims never came through,'' says Lisa Frantzis, a specialist in renewable energy at Navigant Consulting in Burlington, Mass. Another brake on the pace of solar innovation might be consumer behavior. It often can be hard to get consumers to change their habits, and homeowners may be slow to swap out expensive water heaters for newfangled solar solutions. Reliability is also an issue: while current solar technologies have proved relatively durable, it's unknown how resilient the next generation of solar will be. ''We need technologies that can survive on a rooftop for 20 years,'' says Barry Cinnamon, chief executive of Akeena Solar Inc. of Los Gatos, Calif., a designer and installer of solar systems. Affordable solar development is also still dependent on government subsidies. ''Mass adoption requires technological innovations that dramatically lower costs,'' says Peter Rive, the chief operations officer of SolarCity in Foster City, Calif., a system designer and installer. So what does the valley bring to the mix? Expertise in miniaturization and a passion for novelty among its entrepreneurs. ''There are suddenly a lot of new ideas coming into this field,'' says Paul Alivisatos, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, who also has his own solar start-up. One novel approach is called ''solar thermal,'' which uses large mirrors to generate steam to run conventional turbines that generate electricity. In 2006, Vinod Khosla, a veteran venture capitalist best known as a co-founder of Sun Microsystems, discovered an obscure Australian company, Ausra, pursuing solar thermal. He persuaded the management of Ausra to move to Silicon Valley and helped it raise money. Ausra recently signed a deal with PG&E, the big California utility company, to supply a large solar plant. ''The best work in solar is happening in Silicon Valley,'' Mr. Khosla says. Another exciting area is thin-film solar, in which cells are created in roughly the same way that memory is created on dense storage devices like hard-disk drives -- allowing the nascent industry to tap into the valley's expertise. At Nanosolar, for instance, some of those in top management come directly from Seagate Technology and I.B.M., two traditional titans in computer storage. The promise of Solar Valley has investors opening their wallets as never before. But some worry that promising technologies of today must be renewed, and quickly, if the logic of Moore's Law is to define solar. ''There's a lot of money being thrown at the problem and that's healthy; it gives it a real chance of succeeding,'' Mr. Alivisatos says. ''But so much of our effort is going into short-term victories that I worry our pipeline will go dry in 10 years.'' The fear of a solar bubble is legitimate, but after years of stagnation, entrepreneurs say the recent developments in the field are welcome. Long ignored by the most celebrated entrepreneurs in the land and now embraced as one of the next big things, solar energy may gain traction because of a simpler rule than Moore's Law: where there's a will, there's a way.

Thanks Poppy for all the lives you've touched, especially ours. We will always love you... Missy and Brittany MODELL--William D., We note with deep sadness the passing of a giant in our industry and mark with profound sorrow the loss of a dear friend. Bill Modell was a brilliant entrepreneur who built a business that was a showplace of ingenuity and creativity. While he established the largest, privately owned sporting goods chain in the country, he created an enterprise that was known for its integrity and honesty, its service to its customers, and its concerns for its associates and employees. Bill was an extremely caring and compassionate individual whose myriad acts of charity and tzedokah are legend. He single handedly raised millions of dollars for numerous charitable causes, most particularly The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America which he founded in memory of his dear son Michael who succumbed to that dreaded disease, and to which he devoted every fiber of his bountiful energy. Bill was a captain of industry and a role model to all who dealt with him in business; a devoted husband to his dear wife Shelby whom he adored; a loving father to his children and grandchildren; and a dear and dedicated friend to all who were fortunate enough to know him. We send our sincerest condolences to his life's partner Shelby; to our dearest friend and business associate, his son Mitchell who carries forward his father's legacy in commerce and kindness, in business and philanthropy, with dignity and grace; his sister Doris; his daughter Leslie and to all the members of the Modell Family who we know will feel an emptiness and a void that has been created by the passing of a very special human being who graced this Earth and all of us with his presence. Bill, we too will miss you greatly. Sol and Esther Werdiger & the entire Outerstuff Family MODELL--William D. A giant of a man and a legend in his own time has left this earth for greener pastures.

He had a big heart, always willing to help others. Along with his wife, Shelby, they created charitable organizations to help those with disease and those less fortunate. He had a wonderful, dry sense of humor and knew how to put a smile on your face. Our entire family will mourn the loss of this dear, wonderful, loving giant of a man. Our condolences are extended to Shelby, Leslie, Mitchell, Doris, and Bill's entire family. Evelyn and Benjamin Kerr, Carol and John Harrison, and Susie and Michael Kerr MODELL--William D. The love of my life is gone. We began our journey together with laughter. Now it has ended in tears. My precious, beloved husband devoted his life to me, our children and grandchildren, and his sister and brother-in-law and gave us the most precious gift of all, his love. He became a legend in his own time, building Modell's Sporting Goods into the largest, privately owned sporting goods chain in the country. His brilliant business acumen earned him many honors and awards. Yet, his greatest pleasure was seeing all those he mentored succeed in their careers. During World War II, he proudly served in the Army's Ninth Air Corps and continued to serve his country and New York City throughout his life, as a member of the negotiating committee for the Panama Canal Treaty under President Jimmy Carter, as New York City's Commissioner of Public Affairs for Mayor Abe Beame, and as a founding patron of the Metropolitan Opera House and Lincoln Center for Performing Arts. Though he met world leaders, celebrities and many of America's greatest athletes, he was at heart a down-toearth man, who cared deeply about his family, friends, and . Associates. A humble and gentle man, he helped countless individuals in their time of need. He was the founder of American Digestive Disease Society, a co-founder of the Jeffrey Modell Foundation for Immunological Research and the Hewlett House for breast cancer survivors, and was especially dedicated to Gilda's Club of New York and Worldwide which he helped found. No cause meant more to Bill than finding a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In 1967, when our son Michael was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, he co-founded the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America and raised many millions of dollars for research. Bill never realized his dream to find a cure, and we lost our darling Michael to complications caused by Crohn's disease six years ago. Yet, despite his unspeakable sorrow, Bill never gave up hope. He continued to raise millions to save others from the suffering that our son endured. For me, his children and grandchildren, his friends, and all those who knew him, Bill was a man who filled the world with his vibrant presence, his compassion and love, his sense of humor, his wisdom and integrity, his quiet courage, and his abundant goodwill. The services will be held on Sunday, February 17, 2008, 11am, Temple Emanu-El, 5th Ave at 65th St., New York. I have lost my best friend and partner in life and I am shattered with sorrow. Billy, you were and always will be my soul mate. I will love you and miss you forever. Your Shelby MODELL--William.
