COVER: INDUSTRIAL WAR: Can Russia Win? Business Special Section.
PIERCING THE IRON CURTAIN: In spite of the lion Curtain the Russians have built around their empire, a surprising amount of information about the Soviet war machine seeps out. It comes in various forms, including official Soviet papers, and reports from refugees, defectors, diplomats, travelers, and correspondents. Eventually a great deal of the information finds its way to the U.S., coming to rest in government files, universities, and libraries.

However, such information being widely scattered, it has been difficult to dig out and research, to separate fact from fiction, and to assemble in understandable form. That's why I'm sure you will be vitally interested in the Special Report, "The Industrial War," which appears (pages 53 to 67) in this issue. Carefully researched and perceptively reported, it brings you as complete a story as can now be told of the Soviet economic war machine.

The research on this Special Report was particularly difficult because the statistics released by the Soviet Government are often contradictory or unreliable. Every statement had to be checked against known facts, figures had to be projected against known figures. Nothing could be taken at face value.

A research team of Roderick Gander, researcher in our BUSINESS NEWS department, and Fay Willey, FOREIGN NEWS researcher, plowed through masses of material. Experts from Columbia University's Russian Institute and M.I.T's Center for International Studies were interviewed. The New York Public Library and the NEWSWEEK library were combed for data. In our Washington bureau, reporter Walter Gruber, diplomatic correspondent Edward Weintal, and contributing editor Leon Volkov, all found the nation's capital rich in Soviet material. Among the principal sources were the State Department, the Pentagon, and the Library of Congress.

A NUMBER of persons in and out of government who had visited the Soviet Union recently were interviewed. Leon Volkov's help was especially valuable. As a former Red Air Force officer he has intimate knowledge of the country, the people, and their thinking.

Our overseas bureaus, closer to the Iron Curtain, contributed invaluable material, particularly that bearing on Soviet penetration in the Middle East. This was the work of Sam Souki of our Cairo bureau. In such a major story as this, NEWSWEEK'S editors act as a joint task force. Leadimig the task force in this case were Elclon Griffiths, foreign-affairs expert, and Osborn Elliott, Senior Editor, BUSINESS, who di rected the combined efforts of the FOREIGN and BUSINESS NEWS staffs.

We think this Special Report is one of the most significant we have presented to our readers in a long time, giving as it does a crystal- clear picture of an international problem that concerns all of us.
