It seemed at the very least a gross failure of discretion on the part of Associate Justice Abe Fortas--and demands for his resignation or even impeachment reverberated through the Capital and the country. The high-living little judge was clearly trying to ride out the storm, but the tempest continued to build: President Nixon sent Attorney General John Mitchell on a secret visit to Chief Justice Earl Warren to try to get Fortas's resignation. Newsweek's chief Congressional correspondent Sam Shaffer dug out behind-the-scenes details of the effort to force Fortas out, Robert Shogan and other Washington correspondents pieced together accounts from Fortas's friends and colleagues, and Senior Editor Peter Goldman wrote the story of a Justice at the bar of public opinion.

EXPLORING THE WORLD OF THE MUGGER: With his sudden, random violence and seemingly meaningless rage, the mugger is the symbol of the street crime that terrorizes the peaceful inhabitants of America's cities. But there are no criminology texts or psychological studies to dispel the mugger's ominous mystery. To find out what muggers are really like, Associate Editor G. Bruce Porter contacted a friend who works with addicts and, through him, met a reformed mugger who was willing to talk with him about the hows and whys of his crime. This was the first of a chain of informants--some of them still professionally active--who filled out the picture. Along the way, Porter ate, drank and strolled the streets with muggers--and in one wry reversal of roles, spent an entire evening waiting vainly on one of Brooklyn's seediest corners for a mugger who failed to show up. BONN'S FIGHT OVER THE MARK: Once again, the world's delicate monetary structure teetered on the edge of chaos. This time it was the disproportionate strength of the West German mark that brought on the crisis. Widespread belief that the mark was about to be revalued upwards caused enormous inflows of money into Germany at the expense of weaker currencies. Then came the dramatic announcement: No revaluation! The political maneuvering behind the West German Government's decision, and its worldwide reverberations, are reported by Bonn bureau chief Bruce van Voorst and correspondents in other monetary capitals. General Editor Rich Thomas writes the story. NEWSWEEK LISTINGS: NATIONAL AFFAIRS: Justice on the spot (the cover). Mr. Nixon's attack on hunger. The Pueblo: end of the affair.
