Virtually all of his life, Watson has been the peer to watch. The son of a Navy enlisted man, Watson went from high school at Pine Bluff, Ark., to Vanderbilt University, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1960. He joined the Marines the same year. A slender man of 150 Ibs., Watson had remarkable stamina: He set two permanent obstacle-course records at the Quantico base, where he became an officer. He bucked for the Marines' most elite outfit, the First Force Reconnaissance company, and had to survive a list of training schools that were excruciating even...
Spread out amid landscaped lawns, pine trees and poplars on the eastern fringes of Seoul, the headquarters of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency looks more like a tranquil U.S. campus than the nerve center of what is perhaps the most overzealous, if not the most heavyhanded, secret service in the Orient.

...requires at least 30 years to reach maturity. But again the Amazon proved more complex than Ludwig's experts imagined. His property contained at least two distinct types of soil, one unsuitable for Gmelina.

The Dzungarian basin spreads into a hard, flat, open plain beneath the P'o-lo-k'o-nu Mountains, ideal tank and tactical-air-strike country. Kazakh boys who ride bareback through the surrounding pine forests must beware the leopards that still roam the foothills of the T'ien Shan range. The border-control point is a 600-yd.-long bridge across the Ili River, where the Chinese claim that the Soviets continue to infiltrate agents. They also say border markers are frequently moved and that...
...several corporations, including U.S. Steel, Bethlehem Steel, Alcoa and Firestone. The matter was hardly of great significance, since such freebees were common, at least in preWatergate Washington. Carter, in fact, has conceded that he and his family were guests of Brunswick (Ga.) Pulp &Paper Co. at its showcase "pine plantation" for several days in 1972, when he was Governor of Georgia. He had been invited there, the company said, to discuss his plans to merge the state forestry commission with the Georgia department of natural resources. Carter acknowledged last week that "it would have been better not" to have made...
