TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: NIXON: THE ELEVENTH HOUR: For Richard Nixon, it was the eleventh hour -- a bleak passage in which even his innermost circle has begun to doubt his chances for survival. The House Judiciary Committee voted out at a three-count bill of impeachment against him; his support hemorrhaged badly in the Congress and the polls -- and once again the Capital was alive with speculation that he might resign. Washington correspondents Thomas M. DeFrank, Samuel Shaffer, Henry W. Hubbard, Anthony Marro, John J. Lindsay, Stephan Lesher, Nicholas Horrock and Tom Joyce filed reports for stories by Peter Goldman, David M. Alpern and Sandra Salmans -- and a Newsweek survey measures what promised to be a landslide House vote for impeachment. (Cover photo by Wally McNamee -- Newsweek.).

'THE GREAT DEBATE': "The acid test of a [foreign] policy," Henry Kissinger once wrote, "is its ability to obtain domestic support," The Secretary of State puts his programs to the test this week on Capitol Hill, where he will lead off two months of Senatorial hearings dubbed "the great debate on U.S. foreign policy." The argument could well shape attitudes toward the U.S. role in the world for years to come. Working with files from State Department correspondent Bruce van Voorst and from other Newsweek bureaus, General Editor Richard Steele previews the great debate.

DUST BOWL '74: A blistering drought' is baking the Midwest grain belt, searing crops and bringing back memories of the ravaging dust bowl of the 1930s. Hopes for a bountiful harvest have disappeared -- and if heavy rains don't come soon, the nation could suffer its first crop disaster in history. Chicago bureau chief Frank Maier visited the drought-stricken region and talked to worried farmers. From his file and those of other correspondents, Allan Mayer wrote the story.

MS. SOMEBODY: From a chubby childhood in Queens, showbiz gossip Rona Barrett trekked to glory in Hollywood. Now she's written a tell-all book. With files from Sunde Smith, Harry F. Waters tells the rest.

SHOW QUEENS: In the newest -- if oddest -- trend in out-of-the-closet chic, female impersonators are mincing through some of America's poshest nightclubs. With bureau files, General Editor Linda Francke reports.
