...will press that argument on wavering Republicans and other undecided members of the House in the coming weeks. At the same time, they plan to shift the fight against impeachment to political grounds, trying to focus attention on Nixon's accomplishments, particularly in the area of foreign policy. Arm twisting will be taboo. Explained one Nixon supporter: "It's counterproductive." Other White House aides, notably Buchanan and Clawson, will attempt to communicate the same line to the public, while Presidential Aide William J. Baroody Jr. will work with pro-Nixon organizations like Rabbi Baruch Korff's National...

...considerable amount of psychic satisfaction, baseball to Mike Marshall is a mere "diversion." Thus the Los Angeles Dodgers' star relief pitcher skipped three weeks of spring training this year to continue working on his doctorate in physiological psychology at Michigan State.

Moreover, he bucks a basic law of pitching, even relief pitching, by playing in four or five games a week...

Marshall, though, has a scholar's explanation. It is all related to kinesiology, says the budding professor, "the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement." Dropping names like Daniel Bernoulli (the Swiss mathematician and physicist who developed a key principle of hydrodynamics) and Hans Selye (a leading expert on stress), Marshall goes on to explain...
