Most of the 7,000 Japanese colonists on the Bonins, which supplied Japan with fish and many of its winter vegetables, were evacuated during the war, when the large Bonins were turned into a part of Japan's island defense system. After the U.S. took them over, it made them and the Ryukyu chain (including Okinawa) bases for air and naval installations. While Okinawa has since become the major U.S. military base in the Western Pacific, the Bonin area installations are now only three small stations and a complement of only 75 men. Last November, as an omiyage (gift...
...Joan Baez, 27, got married last week in a ceremony that was as much a demonstration of dissent as a plighting of troth. The lucky man was David Harris, 22, ex-president of the Stanford student body who, like his bride, did time in jail after participating in last winter's antidraft demonstrations in Oakland; Harris is also under indictment for refusing induction into the armed forces...
Creeping Meatball. After a winter in which the hippie movement seemed so moribund that its own members staged mock burials in honor of its death, the Yippies have suddenly invested it with new life through their special kind of antic political protest.

When the tour moved to the U.S., she won all three events at Aspen, Colo. slalom, giant slalom and downhill beating France's Marielle Goitschel by a 1.67-sec. margin in the giant slalom...
Nancy's record is all the more remarkable because few experts expected much from her this year. Only three weeks before the Winter Games, she severely strained the ligaments in 'her left ankle. The experts should have remembered what a gutsy competitor she is. In the 1966 World Championships at Portillo, Chile, she caught an edge in the downhill and somersaulted into a retaining wall at 60 m.p.h. "I've never seen any girl take a worse fall," said French Ski Coach Honoré Bonnet. "I didn't expect her to get up again." Nancy...
