TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: HOW GOOD IS YOUR DOCTOR? Few professionals are currently subject to such intensive scrutiny as the nation s 380,000 physicians. Partly because of the rising tide of consumerism, partly because of rising costs, patients and state and local health authorities are checking to see how well the doctors are performing. Though the vast majority are competent and dedicated, some are not--and they are the problem. With reports from Newsweek bureaus, Associate Editor Mariana Gosnell and Editorial Assistant Dan Shapiro, Medicine editor Matt Clark wrote the story.

FORD HANGS TOUGH: A queasy sense of economic calamity was spreading across the country, and an emergency public-employment bill reminiscent of the 1930s was about to be signed. President Ford's priorities were changing, but were his remedies sufficient? Rich Thomas, Samuel Shaffer, John 1. Lindsay and Jeff B. Copeland filed from Washington on the deepening recession and the President's limited response, while Newsweek bureaus sounded out his countrymen for their reaction.
WALTER LIPPMANN, 1889-1974: For nearly four decades, Walter Lippmann's thoughtful and erudite columns on world affairs were required reading for millions of Americans. Last week, after several years in retirement, the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes died at the age of 85. Among his many affiliations, Lippmann was a regular columnist for Newsweek from 1963 to 1968 and an occasional contributor until 1971. "He was a great humanist with an enormous following," Newsweek Editor Osborn Elliott said last week. "In the years he wrote for Newsweek, Walter Lippmann did much to build the stature and prestige of the magazine.".
FIRE AND ICE: WALT FRAZIER (left) is cool and graceful. EARL (THE PEARL) MONROE is a funky artist of one-on-one moves. To. gether, they form the classiest backcourt combination in professional basketball--perhaps the best in the history of the sport. Associate Editor Peter Bonventre wrote the story about the two New York Knicks superstars.
GOTHIC REVIVAL: The last few years have witnessed a strong revival of interest in the Middle Ages. Some enthusiastic intellectuals even believe that Western civilization is beginning to shift back toward the social and cultural values that prevailed in the medieval era. Ideas editor Kenneth L. Woodward traces the Gothic legacy of modern man.
