TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER STORY: THE FORD TEAM: Gerald Ford chose his Vice-President last week -- former New York Gov. NELSON ROCKEFELLER. It was a popular and politically astute choice. But tougher choices lay ahead: how to deal with the deepening economic crisis that sent stock prices plummeting last week. Washington reporters Samuel Shaffer, Tom Joyce, John J. Lindsay, Henry W. Hubbard, Jeff B. Copeland and Thomas M. DeFrank covered the unfolding events for Peter Goldman's account of Ford's week -- and for David Pauly's analysis of the nation s mounting inflation (page 53). New York bureau chief Angus Deming traveled with Rocky for David M. Alperu's profile of the high- powered plutocrat who had so long yearned for the Presidency himself. And financial reporter Rich Thomas probed the Rockefeller family for- tunes for a companion piece by Sandra Salmans. (Cover photo by Wally McNamee -- Newsweek.).

THE DEATH OF RODGER DAVIES: The guns of August finally fell silent on CYPRUS -- but only after Greek-Cypriot terrorists had gunned down U.S. Ambassador Rodger P. Davies in Nicosia. With files from Nicholas C. Proffitt, Barry Came, Malcolm MacPherson and Peter Mellas, Milton Benjamin chronicles the aftermath of war. In a companion piece, Senior Editor Arnaud de Borchgrave interviews Henry Tasca, the controversial ex-US. ambassador to Athens, who was called home last week.

A WORLD DISEASE: Gerald Ford labels it "Public Enemy No. 1" and has called for a national summit meeting to combat it. But the enemy -- INFLATION -- is not only an American disease -- it is a growing international problem so overwhelming that it threatens virtually every government in the world. Almost daily, experts warn of the danger of a global depression that would wrack the world's economy. With reporting provided by Newsweek bureaus around the world, General Editor Richard Steele outlines the crushing impact of inflation and analyzes the reasons why timid governments are having so much trouble coping.

CAMPERS' LIB: While scores of traditional summer camps are lowering their flags forever, today's young are tripping out on an exotic new range of camping experiences. The action includes -- surfing, soccer, mountaineering, flying and -- for the bovine and the bold -- rigorous regimens of weight reduction and survival training. "If I told these kids to do arts and crafts," observes one surf-camp director, "they would just laugh at me." Working with files from Newsweek bureaus, General Editor Linda Francke reports on the new specialty camps that challenge rather than coddle the camper.

THE GOOD DOCTOR: A specter that terrorizes the National Football League -- a gambling scandal -- threatened to become a reality last week. Sports editor Pete Axthelm analyzes the events and looks behind the scenes.
