TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER STORY: Can South Vietnam Stand Alone?:
The avowed purpose of the American commitment in Vietnam has
been to help create a stable and enduring non-Communist nation in
the south. 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. (Newsweek cover

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.
