A small, rocky, typhoonswept island, this is okinawa, principal link in the ryukyus chain, which stretches more than stretches over the pacific from japan to formosa. Unimportant . Perhaps at first glance. But okinawas role in todays world is out of proportion to its size. An area equal to rhode island, okinawa is a vital outpost in the free World Defense network less than 300 miles from the coast of communist china.
