TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: SAVING THE FAMILY:
Not long ago, a good many experts and social critics were dismissing the family as obsolete. Now,
they are deciding that whatever its faults, it has stood for thousands of years as the building block of society and won't be
replaced. But for all its strengths, the family is beset by problems: inflation, changing values, loss of its own authority and the
intrusion of experts and institutions that are ostensibly trying to help. So academic authorities and officials in government are
looking at the family from a new perspective: not how to supplant it, but how to help it do its work. Newsweek's eighteen-page
examination of the family was conceived by Senior Editor Lynn Young and supervised by Assistant Managing Editor Larry Martz. Mary
Lord in Washington and a dozen correspondents around the country filed reports to the New York team,* and seven writers headed
by Kenneth L. Woodward and David Gelman wrote the stories beginning on page 63: an assessment of today's family, studies of the
impact of government policy and of television, reports on the black family and the new family therapy, a piece on the commune as
an alternate family and vignettes of six representative families. Director of Design Peter 1. Blank and Tom Lunde designed the cover
package, Dale Denmark assembled the photographs and staff member Bob Spitzer, age 40, drew the cover picture.
THE RED BRIGADES: After the release of an ambiguously worded "final communique," Italy's Red Brigades seemed on the verge of
murdering former Prime Minister Aldo Moro. Newsweek profiles the terrorist group and its leaders, some of whom are now behind
bars in Turin.
DINOSAURS REVISITED: Popularly pictured as plodding, dim-witted creatures, dinosaurs have long had a bad press. But some
paleontologists have lately stirred up a new debate, asking fresh questions about what caused the sudden extinction of dinosaurs 65
million years ago.
SUNDAY: It rained on President Jimmy Carter, who was off in the West trying to restore his political fortunes (page 28). But for
thousands of Americans elsewhere, Sun Day 1978 was a national happening: a day for rising before the break of dawn, getting
outdoors and celebrating together the warmth of a spring sunrise--and the glowing vision of a solar-powered future.
