TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: MILITARY JUSTICE ON TRIAL: Embroiled in a uniquely unpopular war, the United States armed forces are being challenged on many of their traditional methods and assumptions--including the way they render military justice. How stringently should a democratic nation punish its dissenting soldiers, particularly during time of war? Conversely, can soldiers properly be penalized for going after the enemy with too much zeal if civilian deaths ensue? Can such provocative issues be resolved in the parochial framework of the court-martial chamber? General Editor Robert Littell, a former ensign (photo) in the U.S. Navy who recalls that he defended twelve different shipmates in petty courts-martial during his Navy hitch and lost all twelve cases, searches out the answers to these essential questions in this week's cover story. He worked from reports filed by Washington correspondent Robed Shogan, Atlanta correspondent Henry P. Leifermann and Editorial Assistant Nancy Stadtman. (Newsweek cover photo by Bill Stettner.).
THE JFK TAPES: HOW IT WAS: About 7.5 million pages of "official" papers of the Kennedy Administration, plus 300 tapes of "oral history," are now open for inspection, and Newsweek Contributing Editor Charles Roberts dug in last week. He turned up nuggets to surprise, amuse and enlighten historians--and to embroil them in controversy.
WANTED: COLLEGE PRESIDENTS: As another school year approaches, an unusual number of vacancies exists in the ranks of college presidents. And in their searches for a leader, many colleges and universities are emphasizing a talent not traditionally associated with the academic life--"conflict management." With reports from Newsweek bureaus around the country, Education editor Jerrold K. Footlick writes of the perils and pleasures of serving as a college president today.
THE BOARD UNDER FIRE: Company directorships used to be sinecures that carried prestige and a handy honorarium. But no more. In today's complex world of big business, directors find themselves struggling with genuine, time-consuming problems, warding off the brickbats of dissatisfied shareholders and, worst of all, facing possible liability for mismanagement. The result is a scramble to obtain qualified men willing to brave the headaches and perils of serving on company boards. From scores of interviews, Associate Editor Oliver Moore examines the plight of the director--as does cartoonist Roy Doty.
