TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER STORY: MOSCOW SUMMIT: Immediately after President Nixon's return from his historic China visit, Newsweek began preparing a special report on the second leg of the President's global peace-keeping mission, the summit meeting this week in Moscow. Among reporters accompanying him during his crucial conference with Soviet leaders are Washington bureau chief Mel Elfin and Moscow bureau chief Jay Axelbank. From their files and reports by bureaus around the world--and from analysis by Associate Editor Fay Willey and research by Steven Shabad--Associate Editors Richard Smith, Richard Steele, Daniel Chu, Peter Kramer, and General Editor Tom Nicholson prepared the special summit report under the direction of Senior Editor Edward Klein.

AGAIN, THE SHADOW OF A GUNMAN: Another man nobody knew came out of the shadows last week and changed American politics. The shooting of George Wallace wakened echoes of the political assassinations of the 1960s and revived the debate over whether there was some tragic, violent flaw in the American spirit. With the first news of the shooting Newsweek mobilized a wide-ranging reporting effort. The Washington bureau's Nicholas Horrock, Nancy Ball, Diane Camper, Robert Shogan, Thomas DeFrank and Tom Joyce put together the story of the shooting. Atlanta's Stephan Lesher, who regularly reports the Wallace campaign, covered the governor's stricken entourage while Henry Leifermann touched base with Wallace-for-President headquarters in Montgomery. Washington specialist Evert Clark monitored the governor's fight for recovery. And within hours of the shooting, the Chicago bureau's Bernice Buresh was sitting with the gunman's parents in the kitchen of their South Side Milwaukee home, beginning work on the psychological profile of the would-be assassin. The result of their work is the cover-length report beginning on Page 18.

DESIGN FOR LIVING: In recent years the Italians have outstripped the Scandinavians as world leaders in design. A lavish new show at New York's Museum of Modern Art reveals the brilliant, colorful, farout world of ITALIAN DESIGN--from furniture such as a sofa shaped like a baseball glove to an anti-automobile automobile to a mobile house that can be folded up like an ac-cordion and driven away. Art Editor Douglas Davis wrote the report. Accompanied by two pages of color photographs.
