TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER STORY: LEARNING CAN BE FUN: Of the 32 million children in U.S. elementary schools, a disturbingly large percentage find school unpleasant and learning a bore. As a result, growing numbers of U.S. grade schools are turning to "open classrooms" --a system of informal education based on the proposition that children learn more when school is fun. To appraise this new educational approach, Newsweek correspondents around the country interviewed leading educators and visited dozens of schools. From their files and extensive reporting by Janet Huck and Phyllis Malamud in New York, Education editor Jerrold Footlick wrote the cover story. An accompanying story describes North Dakotas pioneering switch to informal education. (Newsweek cover photo by Charles Moore--Black Star.).

YANKEE, SELL OUT! Throughout Latin America these days, much of the indiscriminate Yanqui-baiting rhetoric of the past has quieted down. In its place, the Latins have focused their attention on a single, overriding problem: their lopsided economic relations with the U.S. Based on scores of interviews throughout the southern continent, a report by Newsweek's Latin American bureau chief John Barnes details this new economic nationalism. In a companion piece, John Sherman describes how one large U.S. corporation is adapting to the new Latin mood.

A GUIDE TO THE BERRIGAN CASE: The charges that Father Philip Berrigan and other antiwar activists conspired to kidnap Presidential aide Henry Kissinger and blow up Federal property has become an international cause celebre. After weeks of interviewing witnesses and analyzing all available evidence, Contributing Editor Charles Roberts examines the strengths and weaknesses of the government's case.

JAPAN'S BIG DRIVE IN AUTOS: Almost overnight, Japan has unloosed a massive invasion of the world automobile market, especially in the U.S. JAPANESE CARS are cutting deep into American small-car sales--and despite the U.S. counterattack in the subcompact field, Detroit is hurting. How have the Japanese done it? And can they keep it up? With files from Jonathan Kandell in Tokyo, Martin Kasindorf in Los Angeles, James Jones in Detroit and others, General Editor Jack lams writes the story of the Japanese automotive explosion.
