COVER: Now, Pneumonia. (Richard Nixon).

TOP OF THE WEEK:
NOW, PNEUMONIA: In the midst of his interminable Watergate crisis, Richard Nixon suddenly came down with pneumonia -- and was ordered hospitalized for at least a week. With deadline dispatches from the Washington bureau, General Editor Richard Boeth discusses the President's illness and his impending confrontation with the Ervin panel, while Senior Editor Peter Goldman writes the latest chapter in the Watergate hearings. Medicine editor Matt Clark examines the Nix. on medical file and the hazards of viral pneumonia. (Newsweek cover photo by Wally McNamee.)

OVER A MIDEAST OIL BARREL: As the oil requirements of the United States, Europe and Japan grow, the old economic balance of power is tipping further in favor of the assorted republics, monarchies and sheikdoms of the Middle East that sit atop most of the world's 633 billion barrels of proven oil resources. Drawing on reports filed by James Bishop Jr. and Henry W. Hubbard in Washington, Arnaud de Borchgrave, Nicholas C. Proffitt and Barry Came in the Mideast and Jeff B. Copeland in New York, General Editor Michael Ruby tells the new oil story.

FILMING GATSBY: On the floodlit terrace of a Newport mansion, the cast and crew of Paramount's $6.5 million "THE GREAT GATSBY" re-created one of Gatsby's fabulous parties last week, with Newport socialites as extras and onlookers. General Editor Charles Michener reports this first phase of filming the Fitzgeraid classic, interviews its director, Jack Clayton, and talks with stars Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, who Gatsby play the characters and Daisy.

SAIGON'S POW'S: Countless South Vietnamese who dare to disagree with the policies of President Nguyen Van Thieu have been rewarded with indefinite prison terms -- and a life of mistreatment and torture. With files from Saigon correspondent Ron Moreau, General Editor Richard Steele profiles the plight of Saigon's political prisoners.

VICE ON ICE: A pornography entrepreneur straps bikinis on his nude wrestlers; book publishers prepare lawsuits; filmmakers mostly fidget. Reations are diverse -- and confused -- to the tough new obscenity ruling by the Supreme Court. With files from correspondents across the nation, General Editor Elizabeth Peer surveys the pornography industry.
