TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: DE GAULLE IN RUSSIA: On Charles de Gaulle's first trip to Russia in 1944, wartime conditions kept the ceremony comparatively sparse and newsmen to a minimum. But his current triumphal journey, which reached deep into Siberia, has been tracked every step of the way (except for the secret space center near Baikonur) by two Aeroflot planeloads of reporters and photographers. Two Newsweek bureau chiefs, Joel Blocker from Paris and Robert J. Korengold from Moscow, joined the trek and sent on-scene accounts of the grandiose mixture of politics and splendor. In New York, Linda Gutstein dug deep into Russian history and geography to research the story written by Associate Editor Angus Deming, himself a veteran of five years in the Paris bureau under the Fifth Republic. The cover photo and the inside portfolio were taken in Moscow by Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt and rushed back by jet for on-deadline processing.

YEAR OF THE FORD: For the first time since 1921, a U.S. car won the grueling 24-hour racing classic at Le Mans. Sports editor John Lake's analysis of the victory is accompanied by two pages of color photographs by Jack Nisberg and Jesse Alexander.

WHERE TIGHT MONEY REALLY PINCHES: A home of their own is the aspiration of nearly every U.S. family. But with Washington applying credit screws to fight inflation, mortgage rates are marching to 6, 7, and even 8 per cent in some places and home buying is becoming more a dream than a possibility to increasing numbers of Americans. One Chicago housebuyer phoning for a mortgage application got no further than a switchboard operator, who brusquely said, "Sorry, we're not accepting any applications." From Newsweek reports across the country, Associate Editor Peter Landau describes the "cotton-picking" frustrations of buyers, home builders and mortgage bankers and discusses Washington's view of their woes.

REPORTING FROM LEGENDLAND: Everything changes, including what Newsweek's Movies editor Joseph Morgenstern calls, the "US. legendland, Hollywood." From Los Angeles, Morgenstern reports on the once lush, now sleazy Sunset Strip (page 22), reviews "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' '--which may herald a new era of frankness in motion pictures (page 84)-- and takes a close look at new movie czar Jack Valenti (page 84).
