...altered but preserved the basic plans for a dubious anti-ballistic-missile system. Even while concentrating on negotiations at the peace table in Paris, he continued to prosecute the war in Viet Nam at a cautious but undiminished pace. The task of defending those decisions, however tentative they remain, has largely been handled by Nixon's Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird, who has emerged as the Administration's principal confronter. Last week a good part of Laird's task was taken over by Secretary of State William P. Rogers, a man whom Nixon has described...

He received only $28,000, well below his usual fee, for the Nazareth doors-but they may remain on public display a lot longer than some of his other works. One Israeli architect estimates that the new basilica ought to last at least 1,000 years...
