JAPAN Nukes for Nippon? Unlike recent junkets by other Administration officials, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird's ten-day swing through Tokyo and Seoul seemed carefully calculated to be thoroughly unspectacular. Laird's message was the same for both allies: they could count on continued protection from the Seventh Fleet and the U.S. nuclear umbrella, but they would have to furnish "credible deterrence" on the ground themselves. Who could get upset over what amounted to yet another sales pitch for the Nixon Doctrine...
UNABLE to run, climb or swing, most handicapped children can usually do little at a playground but watch wistfully as others enjoy themselves. But young patients at New York University Medical Center's Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine should now find their wheelchairs and crutches less hindrance to having fun. A new playground for them, and a model for other institutions like theirs, has been built with funds provided by the Office of Economic Opportunity. The 120-ft. by 40-ft. area contains an artificial waterfall under which the youngsters can walk or ride, a grassy knoll up which they...

As for his short game, few if any of the pros surpass his skill at, as he puts it, "dropping...
...young pros to join the tour in years. A star high school fullback in Wichita, Kans., he was wooed by football scouts from several colleges. Instead he chose to go to Oklahoma State on a golf scholarship, where he won the 1968 N.C.A.A. championship. Relying on a rhythmically compact swing, he won $37,193 in his first full season on the tour, and was named the 1969 Rookie of the Year. Off to a so-so start after winning $55,913 last season, Jones echoes the sentiments of all the pro prodigies when he says: "My day is coming...
