Last week, as Saigon's official delegation finally left for the expanded Paris peace talks, it seemed appropriate to ask whether, after the loss of 30,000 American lives, that goal was at last in sight. From files provided for this week's cover story by Saigon bureau chief Joel Blocker, correspondents Francois Sully, Gordon Chaplin and Kevin Buckley and Newsweek's Washington bureau staff, Associate Editor Russell Watson weighs the evidence.

THE BLACK BOOK ON CZECHOSLOVAKIA: Newsweek has obtained a copy of the inside story of the Soviet take-over of Czechoslovakia, just published by the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and circulated privately in extremely small numbers. Among other things, the 494-page document -- promptly dubbed the Black Book in Prague -- tells how invading Soviet troops last August manhandled Czechoslovak leaders, how certain collaborators, whom the document identifies by name, betrayed their country and how the Russians came within a hairbreadth of setting up a collaborationist regime. THE TROUBLED CAMPUS: After a deceptively calm start this fall term, US. college campuses have erupted in Sit-ins, clashes with police and confrontations with school administrations. San Francisco State was again the major battleground, though some minor -- and bizarre -- skirmishes were fought at Brown, Fordham, NYU and Washington University in St. Louis. Education editor Peter Janssen, aided by Newsweek's San Francisco bureau and campus correspondents, reports on the troubled universities . BLOCK THAT MERGER: In an age when merger seems to be the name of the corporate game, there are, believe it or not, companies that still prefer to go it alone. And sometimes it takes even more skill to ward off the sometimes friendly, sometimes hostile advances of the fast-moving take-over artists and avoid a merger than it does to consummate one. The art of blocking that take-over is examined in this week's Spotlight on Business, reported by Geraldine Carro Levy and August von Muggenthaler and written by Associate Editor Rich Thomas.
