Handicapped Scout Too Old for Eagle
Gregory Wittine, paralyzed by cerebral palsy, crawled and later used a wheelchair to complete the 10 mile trek for the Boy Scouts Eagle merit badge. At 22 or 23, he may be denied Eagle since the rank is for ages 11 to 17, prompting debate among local units and a possible review by national leaders in Phoenix.

Arms talks near deal but no new treaty reached
U S Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and Soviet leaders ended three days of talks in Moscow with no agreement on a new arms control treaty. A communique spoke of a narrowing of differences, but U S officials noted the Soviets stood their ground. Brezhnev called negotiations useful and stressed the need for energetic efforts by both sides to complete a treaty soon. Follow-up talks are planned for May as three major hurdles remain over missile limits, the Backfire bomber, and transfer of U S weapons tech to NATO allies.
