TOP OF THE WEEK:
THE COVER. Even before he took the job last October, Calvin Gross, superintendent of schools in New York City, knew the scope his problems -- teachers spoiling for a strike, the threat of civil-rights bopycotts, vandalism, lack of funds, dropouts, the flight or the middle class to the suburbs. As the summer vacation ended for the city's million schoolchildren, his assessment proved all too correct. Can any man halt the steady deterioration of the nation's biggest school system? Amiable, but tough, Gross is willing to try. Larry For this week's cover story, EDUCATION editor Mel Elfin (shown interviewing Gross in photo) followed close upon the superintendent's heels as he rushed from meeting to meeting, striving to get his math schools open and running on schedule.

EMBARRASSMENT OR DEFEAT? The Administration's hope that a group of Vietnamese generals might seize power in Saigon has failed to materialize. What is U.S. policy now? "The simple truth is the Administration doesn't know what to do," reports NEWSWEEK'S Edward Weintal. But if Washington has no answers, Charles de Gaulle would be glad to supply one.

BACK TO THE SCHOOLHOUSE DOOR. Once again, Alabama's Gov. George Wallace plays every last card as he attempts to keep his loger state's schools segregated. But this time, even his friends don't back him, and elsewhere in the South, back-to-school week is handled with comparative calm.

THROUGH THE TOP. A flood of buy orders sends the Dow Jones industrial average soaring to a new historic high. What's ahead for Wall Street? Some expert opinion, BUSINESS.

A HUNDRED BILLION DOLLAR BABY. That's what the brash, young savings and loan industry has become while riding the postwar building boom to new heights of prosperity. But the commercial banks are striking back and the battle for the savings dollar promises to wax hotter. SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS.

THE MASTER AT 83. As his new exhibition opens, HANS HOFMANN, painter and teacher of painters, is in a reflective mood in a long interview with ART editor Jack Kroll.
