COVER: THE MIDEAST AFTER NASSAR.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
PRESIDENT NIXON'S TRIP: It had been planned as a carefully orchestrated show of strength, designed to impress Moscow with U.S. determination and power in the Mediterranean. But in the long run, the results of Richard Nixon's third odyssey to Europe since taking office may have been muted by events in Cairo. Traveling with the Chief Executive was Newsweek's Henry W. Hubbard. From his files and from reports from other Newsweek correspondents in Europe, Associate Editor William Lineberry examines Mr. Nixon's Mediterranean tour.

NASSER'S DEATH: For much of the Arab world he was both a political leader and a messiah. And last week, with Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's death, his fellow Arabs reacted with an unprecedented outpouring of shock and grief. With files from Newsweek correspondents in Cairo, Beirut, Jerusalem, Moscow and Washington, General Editor Russell Watson appraises Nasser's mercurial career and assesses the impact of his death on the troubled Middle East.

ART--GREAT AND FAKE: Sharing the art news are America's MARY CASSATT and GEORGIA O'KEEFFE (photo left), spotlighted in important retrospectives (with two pages of color); Cezanne, one of whose works has just brought a record price, and a master faker who sells his own work.

A LINDSAY SCENARIO: Will New York's liberal Republican Mayor John V. Lindsay switch parties and try for the 1972 Democratic Presidential nomination? Newsweek's public- opinion consultant Richard Scammon provides a possible scenario for such a Lindsay switch.

WALL STREET SCANDAL? The long bear market has begun to raise questions about Wall Street's much-vaunted ability to keep its house in order. An investigative team headed by Washington correspondent Rich Thomas and Associate Editor Gene Koretz appraises the record.

BLACK AMERICA AND THE SILENT MAJORITY: Occasionally the information gathered for a Newsweek project bursts the framework of the magazine itself and demands further definition in book form. Two such projects, both involving national polls specially commissioned from The Gallup Organization, led to large-scale reports on Black America (June 30, 1969) and The Troubled American (Oct. 6, 1969)--and both have now been published in expanded and revised form by Simon and Schuster. "Report From Black America" is a depth study of the mood of Negro America, written by Senior Editor Peter Goldman; "The Troubled American," a similar inquiry into the "silent majority," was written by former Newsweek staffer Richard Lemon.
