TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: PROBING THE MYSTERIES OF THE BRAIN: Thanks to the men who probe the mysteries of the human brain, medical science may be close to major breakthroughs in new theories for a host of afflictions, from migraine and asthma to psychosomatic disorders. To correlate the latest developments in brain research, Medicine editor Matt Clark talked with specialists and basic researchers from coast to coast. He was aided by reports from reporter Mariana Gosnell and researcher Jean Seligmann. The rhesus monkey on the cover is a chap named Ravi, shown receiving electrical stimulus in the hypothalamus to induce aggressive behavior. Ravi is now back in his quarters at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Ga. (Newsweek cover photo by Robin Johnstone).

THE JAPANESE-AMERICANS: They remain but a tiny fraction of the population --less than three-tenths of 1 per cent. But the success story of Japanese-Americans today is unmatched by other minorities- With files from correspondent Paul Brinkley-Rogers and others, Associate Editor Charles Michener examines their progress-- and problems.

FROM A (FOR ABBIE) TO Z (FOR ZSA ZSA): Cary Grant was his first. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is his latest (page 42). Truman Capote and Raquel Welch were the most cooperative. T.S. Eliot and John O'Hara were the frostiest (both hung up on him).

For eleven years, General Editor Bill Roeder has chronicled the highs and lows of life Roeder: VIP beat among the famous-- and has made his celebrity watch, Newsmakers, one of the most popular features in Newsweek. Roeder, who used to write sports for The New York World-Telegram and Sun, arrived when the reigning celebs included not only Grant but Joe DiMaggio, Jack Paar, Mickey Spillane, Carroll (Baby Doll) Baker and Princess Soraya. He has since then turned out no fewer than 3,690 Newsmaker stories (plus a total of 2,225 Transition entries) --all of them with a trademark blend of sprightliness, wit and Iapidary attention to detail. Roeder has covered VIP's from A (for Abbie Hoffman) to Z (for Zsa Zsa Gabor) and seen whole careers flash and fade (comic Vaughn Meader, pitcher Bo Belinsky). Liz Taylor, Queen Elizabeth and Sophia Loren have all kept him busy over his decade, but the all-time Newsmaker's Newsmaker? Says Roeder: 'It has to be Jackie Kennedy Onassis.".

GROUP SEX: As many as 2 million middle-class Americans may be participating in some form of group sex. From coast to coast, married 'swingers" are experimenting with a radical redefinition of marriage- Susan Braudy analyzes the U.S,swinging subculture. In an accompanying article, correspondent Martin Kasindorf profiles one swinging Los Angeles couple.
