TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: "The Red Bloc in Crisis. Communist leaders in Prague." Twenty years ago a Communist coup dragged Czechoslovakia behind the Iron Curtain. Somehow, the liberal upheavals that later flared across Eastern Europe always bypassed Czechoslovakia. But last week, the country's democratic traditions caught up; after months of ferment, an alliance of students, intellectuals and liberal Communists swept out the old order, personified by arch-Stalinist Antonin Novotny, and began planning to change the face of the nation. To cover this latest crisis in the Red camp, Newsweek sent its new East European bureau chief, Alan TiIher, and correspondent Steve Dummer to Prague. Reporting on the effects of the Czechoslovakian spring on the rest of the bloc were John Dornberg in Moscow, Bruce van Voorst in Bonn and Leon Volkov in Washington. From their files, Associate Editor Robert Littehl wrote the story. The cover picture, taken in Prague at the recent twentieth- anniversary celebrations of Communist rule, shows (left to right) Poland's Wladyslaw Gomulka; Ukrainian party leader Petr Shelest; Czechoslovakia's new ruler, Alexander Dubcek; Prague party leader Martin Vaculik; the now-ousted Novotny, and East Germany's Walter Ulbricht.

THE CAMPAIGN: LBJ'S PEACE OFFENSIVE: Each in his own way, Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy were storming the citadel of Democratic power--the first in a tour calculated to highlight his enthusiastic supporters, the second in the Wisconsin primary he was favored to win. Lyndon Johnson hardly seemed to be lifting a finger--until he began to flex the unique power of the Presidency in the opening gestures of a peace offensive, a reminder that he could turn events to his advantage.

HAWAII: THE TOURIST REVOLUTION: Since Hawaii became the 50th state nine years ago, visitors to the islands have tripled to more than a million a year, transforming the economy, landscape and way of life. In a report written by Associate Editor Jack hams from the findings of correspondent Frank W. Morgan Jr., and in three pages of color photos, this week's Spotlight on Business portrays Hawaii's changing face.

POLK AWARD FOR NEWSWEEK CRITIC SAUL MALOFF: The George Polk Memorial Awards for distinguished achievement in journalism are given annually by Long Island University in honor of a CBS correspondent killed in the civil war in Greece in 1948. Last week, Newsweek Books editor Saul Maloff was one of nine honored by LIU's journalism faculty, which cited him "for a popularly angled, compressed method of appraisal that succeeds in transmitting sensitive appraisals of new books." Maloff, former professor of literature at Bennington College, has been with Newsweek since 1964. One of the rare critics who can review almost any kind of book with knowledge and insight, Maloff will soon have his first novel published by Scribner's.
