TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: THE CONCORDE FUROR: After long debate, the controversial Concorde SST got a green light for sixteen months of limited commercial service to the U.S. Newsweek examines the decision, the protest it provoked and five other disputes in which technology and economic advantages are being weighed against environmental concerns. (Cover photo by Yan -- Rapho/Photo Researchers.)

IMPS OF MOSCOW: The first exhibition of Soviet dissident art to appear in the West opened in New York last week, full of spoofs of both socialist realism (above) and Western pop art.

THE EMBATTLED BUSINESSMAN: Business has never been the best-loved of American institutions, but its standing has hit new lows with the scandals of the past two years -- and businessmen are beginning to fear that the new hostility could destroy the free-enterprise system. To win friends, corporations have mounted a blitz of public relations, lobbied heavily in Washington, adopted ambitious codes of conduct and launched reforms -- with mixed results.

WHY IS TELEVISION SO BAD? Television's prime-time entertainment industry is suffering through its most dismal season. Though network profits have hit a record high, the epidemic of show cancellations has raised suspicions that reliance on tried-and-tired formulas -- sitcoms and action-adventures -- has led TV into a creative dead end. Television editor Harry F. Waters examines the TV picture, and, from his interviews with network programing heads, profiles the decision makers.

INDIRA'S INDIA: As she embarks on her second decade in power, India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi is still tightening her iron grip. Last week, national elections originally scheduled for March were put off for a year. Newsweek's Edward Behr, a veteran observer of the Indian scene, toured the country and reports that although Mrs. Gandhi has made the trains run on time, she has halted democracy in its tracks.

OLYMPIC HEROES: The picturesque Tyrolean Alps came alive last week with the Olympic drama of heroes like Austrian downhill racer Franz Klammer (above) and U.S. speed skater Sheila Young. Peter Bonventre reported on the Games of Innsbruck. Two pages of photos in color accompany the story.
