TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: A TIME FOR TAX REFORM: Some call it the first wave of a genuine taxpayers' revolt. Others say it is but the annual cry of anguish under the April 15 income-tax deadline. Whichever it is, Washington is feeling uncommon heat from taxpayers who believe that the present income-tax laws provide too many loopholes for the rich and put too great a burden on low and middle-income groups. The Nixon Administration is eying a sheaf of remedial proposals. And this week the House Ways and Means Committee launches its own extensive inquiry. To assess the angry mood and the prospects of reform, Newsweek Washington correspondents James Bishop Jr., Samuel Shaffer and Henry T. Simmons interviewed key government officials and legislators. Their reports -- and those of Newsweek bureaus elsewhere in the U.S. on the increasing burden of state and local taxes -- were put together in this week's cover story by Associate Editor Tom Nicholson.

CAMPUS IN CONFLICT: Across the nation last week, student rebellions flared on campus after campus and escalated the crisis of the generations into a new phase. The all too painfully familiar pattern played out again at Berkeley, at Duke, at Wisconsin: black-student demands exploding into patricidal warfare. But now, a gathering backlash has begun to sanction increasing counterforce -- to a point where National Guard troops occupied Wisconsin's campus at bayonet point. And counter- force seemed only to polarize the generations more than ever. With reports filed by Newsweek bureaus and campus correspondents, Senior Editor Edwin Diamond writes on the U.S. campus in conflict, and describes how at least one troubled university, Chicago, managed to cope with its problem.

THE GREAT TRUFFLE SNUFFLE: For centuries the aromatic truffle has been one of the glories of French cooking and an ingredient in that nation's economic health. French truffle hunters, using their sensitivenosed pigs or specially trained dogs to dig out the small clumps of fungus from among the roots of oak trees, have just weighed in with one of the biggest harvests since 1956. To document a truffle hunt, Newsweek's Elizabeth Peer (photo) accompanied a French farmwife and her pig in a careening search for the mysterious product. From her report and his own gourmet experience, Associate Editor Jack Iams wrote the story.
