TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: JAPAN: SALESMAN TO THE WORLD. EXPO '70 in COLOR -- HERE COMES THE FAIR--AND JAPAN: Expo '70--the first world's fair ever to be held in Asia--opens next week in Japan with a dazzling display of architectural splendors and national chest-thumping. But Expo '70 properly symbolizes the startling progress of Japan itself more than that of the rest of the world. After a decade of explosive growth, Japan is challenging the U.S. and Russia for worldwide economic pre-eminence. General Editor Harry F. Waters visited Japan for a firsthand view of the fair's rich blend of tradition and modernity. For the story of Japan's global economic reach, General Editor Rich Thomas drew upon reports by bureau chief Bernard Krisher and reporter Johnathan Kandell in Tokyo and twenty other correspondents around the world. And from the reporting of Deborah Beers, General Editor Jack lams describes life in the business colony of 6,000 Japanese in New York City. (Newsweek cover photo by Black Star.).

DEATH BY AIR MAIL: The long, bitter war between Arab and Israeli moved chillingly into a new arena last week: the civil air lanes of the world. As investigators pieced together the cause of two inflight bomb bursts--one of which killed 47 people aboard a Swiss airliner--it became apparent that the explosives had been mailed to Israel by Arab saboteurs in Europe. The threat of random death stalking the sky gave the airline industry the jitters and prompted a frantic new security campaign. The effort was covered by almost all of Newsweek's domestic and foreign bureaus, and from their files General Editor Raymond Carroll wrote the story. A companion article shows that, despite the new threat, Israel's vital tourist industry continues to boom.

SCOUTS IN THE CITY: An all-black Boy Scout troop in a Brooklyn slum spent weeks rounding up equipment for a fall camping trip. But when they finally got it all together, they discovered it was too cold to go. That kind of disappointment is only one of the difficulties that a boy trapped in an urban ghetto today encounters on the path to being trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, etc. From reports by Boston correspondent Malcolm MacPherson and editorial assistant Susan Sands--both former Scouts--Associate Editor G. Bruce Porter, who never made it beyond the Cubs, assesses the plight of today's urban Scout.
