COVER: Illustration by Comart Aniforms. TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]: WHY TEACHERS ARE FAILING: The American teacher is in trouble. With public attention focused on the failing quality of education in the nation's public schools, educators-and the public-are taking a harder look at the way teachers themselves are taught. What critics are finding is an appalling lack of rigor and selectivity in schools of education-and little consensus on what makes a good teacher. Facing the prospect of a serious teacher shortage, reformers are examining new ways to attract more talented people to the classroom and methods to improve their training. Page 64. BYE-BYE BEACHES: Sea walls built to save the beaches only make them more vulnerable to natural forces. Beachless beaches, like some that have already been created in California (right), may be the wave of the future. Page 74. THE RETURN OF FIGHTIN' FRITZ: Walter Mondale's campaign was fizzling and Ronald Reagan was on a roll-and last week, shaken by national polls, Mondale and his men began a desperate search for new tactics to cut Reagan down to size. By the weekend, he had re-emerged as Fightin' Fritz-but a new NEWSWEEK Poll reveals the dimensions of the president's commanding lead as Campaign '84 heads into the stretch. Page 24. GROMYKO AND REAGAN: Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko will meet President Reagan for the first time next week, and the most important topic of discussion will be arms control. But amid signs of a power struggle in the Kremlin, it isn't at all clear who's calling the shots for Moscow. Page 36.
