After acting like a small boy afraid to go to the dentist, the Administration finally broke down under demands from Capitol Hill last week and put a first-year price tag on the arms to accompany the North Atlantic Treaty. It wasn't as bad as predicted, after all. For the coming fiscal year, Dean Acheson told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the U.S. planned to provide the treaty nations of Western Europe with $1.13 billion worth of military supplies (plus an additional $320 million primarily for Greece and Turkey). Perhaps half the equipment would come from...
Paraguay's 300,000-odd adult males found time on Easter Sunday to go through the motions of electing a President. To no one's surprise, they plumped for Felipe Molas López, the 49-year-old dentist who has run the government since Feb. 26, when he seized power in Paraguay's sixth coup in 13 months. There was no other candidate. In the preceding week, Molas López received a much more significant endorsement. Following the lead of several of Paraguay's neighbors, six countries, including the U.S., formally recognized...
Like Father. The most successful of the young crop is lean, 28-year-old Dr. Gary Middlecoff, the Memphis dentist. When he gets set to hit a tee-shot, the stock gag with his fellow pros is: "This won't hurt a bit... Ouch!"

Unlike most pros, Middlecoff did not graduate from the caddie ranks. His father, also a Memphis dentist, was club champion of the Chickasaw Golf Club. At the age of twelve young Cary fired a 77 one day to beat the old man. Like father, he studied to be a dentist, practiced in the Army and with his father after getting his discharge. He played now & then on the big-time golf circuit as an amateur while debating whether to be a full-time golfer or full-time dentist. In 1947, after he married Edith Buck, an airline stewardess, he decided...
This week at Virginia Beach's fashionable Cavalier Yacht and Country Club, the young dentist shot a two-under-par 67 in the first round of the Specialists Tournament, then a 70, and then a brilliant 65. His one bad round cost him first place by one stroke, but the $900 he picked up boosted his earnings for the year to $9,384 and moved him ahead of Sam Snead in 1949's money race. Says Middlecoff, who admits along with other pros that big-time golf is a tough way to make a living: "I wouldn...
