COVER: How Safe is Nuclear Energy?

TOP OF THE WEEK:
THE DISENCHANTER VOTER: Have American voters been turned off by the twin traumas of Vietnam and Watergate? What impact will their mood have on the 1976 Presidential race? To analyze these questions, Newsweek commissioned a national opinion poll by The Gallup Organization. The results showed that public mistrust of the government-- which has been mounting for years--may finally be leveling off. But while Americans retain a civics-course faith in the political system, considerable skepticism remains about the political leaders in charge of it--including all the men who figure most prominently as contenders in this year's race for the White House.

HOW SAFE IS NUCLEAR ENERGY? [safer than any alternative-edp] A quarter of a century after an experimental nuclear reactor near Idaho Falls, Idaho, first began generating electricity, the pros and cons of nuclear power plants have become the subject of a fierce national debate. How serious are the hazards of such plants, and what can be done to control them? Is there any feasible alternative for producing the tremendous quantities of energy the nation requires? The issue has profound political, social and scientific implications for the concluding quarter of this century. (Newsweek cover by Brillhart/Fenga & Freyer.)

TURNAROUND IN DEFENSE: The feast-or-famine U.S. defense business seems headed for some fat years. A shift in mood by Congress and the public sent Gerald Ford's record defense budget almost unscathed through committees in both houses, promising a 37 per cent rise in new arms contracts next fiscal year-- and 120,000 new jobs to build ships, tanks, planes and even Buck Rogers-style laser guns. By 1981, long-range projects could make defense a growth industry again, with spending at $141 billion.

THE FINAL DAYS, PART II: In this issue, Newsweek publishes the second and concluding installment of its 30,000-word excerpts from "The Final Days," the new book by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on the fall of Richard Nixon. This week's installment opens with a gloomy Nixon family council that was held in early August of 1974 and follows the President and his circle of intimates through the last week of his Administration. An accompanying news story (page 33) describes the political and journalistic controversy provoked by the book, and the authors' defense of their work.
