TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: Henry Kissinger's World of Woes: Once he seemed to be Super K, a maker of diplomatic miracles, and Newsweek
hailed him as such in its cover of June 10, 1974. But last week Henry Kissinger seemed more like Gulliver in Lilliput,
bedeviled by foreign crises on all sides: a tragic assassination in Saudi Arabia, the breakdown of his peace initiative in the
Mideast, a chaotic rout of the South Vietnamese Army and Communist gains in Portugal. Under the direction of Foreign
Editor Edward Klein, Newsweek correspondents and writers prepared a ten-page special report on Kissinger's world of
woes, plus an analysis in the International section of the Dunkirk-like exodus in South Vietnam and the dwindling chances
for the survival of the Saigon government. (Newsweek cover illustration by John Huehnergarth.)
TAX CUT: The biggest tax cut ever passed by Congress went to Gerald Ford's desk, with something for everyone in its $22.8
billion benefits--including rebates of a minimum $100 for every taxpayer to encourage reluctant consumers (page 63). But
Congress was also on a spending spree (page 72) and had loaded the tax bill with amendments Ford didn't want, including
the phasing out of most of the oil industry's depletion allowance (page 67). The President finally signed the bill, but only
after three days of pondering whether to challenge Congress with a veto. Along with his signature, the President drew the
line at higher spending.
OFT-OFT-BROADWAY NOW IS ON ON: While Broadway basks in British imports and a rare musical or comedy, the
experimental theater companies of off-off-Broadway are finding innovative newways to present the great contemporary
playwrights. Two of these dramatists are Brecht and Beckett; Senior Editor Jack Kroll reviews two extraordinary new
productions of work by these masters.
SADDLE SORES: The cowboy, that image of strong, silent, American self-reliance, is losing his legendary virtue. Scholarly
revisionists say the real cowboy was usually a young. kid who rarely carried a gun and who lived a dull life of economic
thralldom. Some historians estimate that as many as 20 to 30 per cent of all cowboys were poor Mexicans, poor Indians or
poor blacks (left). Kenneth L. Woodward reports.
