Presidential 1972 dawned last week--a scrappy New Year for a profusion of candidates on their way to the White House. The campaign had begun as soon as the 1970 off-year elections were over, when Newsweek pinpointed Edmund Muskie (Nov. 16, 1970, cover below) as the man to beat for the Democratic nomination. Since then, Muskie has held onto a steady lead, but Richard Nixon has also distinctly tightened his grasp on the Presidency. From files by chief political correspondent Hal Bruno and the Washington bureau, General Editor Kenneth Auchidoss assesses Mr. Nixon's chances of holding onto his job, and General Editor Richard Boeth profiles Muskie and his Democratic challengers. A state-by-state chart shows where Muskie is leading the pack, and consultant Richard Scammon offers a professional's tips on what to watch for in an election year.

PRESIDENT ON A TIGHTROPE: Pragmatic and stridently nationalistic, Pakistan's new President Zulfikar Au Bhutto has taken vigorous-- yet measured--steps to resurrect his nation in the wake of a disastrous war with India. With files from Edward Behr in Rawalpindi, Associate Editor Richard Steele assesses Bhutto's first two weeks in office, while General Editor Raymond Carroll profiles Pakistan's economic elite, the "22 families.". CARVING OUT THE BUDGET: The Federal budget for fiscal 1973 was undergoing surgery last week to pare it back to about $245 billion --a mere $15 billion over the current fiscal year, with little slack to fund any new programs in an election year. With files from Rich Thomas and Lloyd Norman in Washington, Associate Editor Michael Ruby assesses the President's budget strategy. SPECTRUM: To most Russians, Siberia is a land of bitter memories.
