TOP OF THE WEEK:
THE COVER:
The third coup in ten months rocks the government of South Vietnam -- and embarrasses U.S. officials at home and abroad. What are this country's alternatives now, politically and militarily, in that beleaguered land? From Washington, Edward Weintal, NEWSWEEK'S diplomatic correspondent (photo) pieced together what happened at high-level, closeddoor sessions in the capital before and after General Phat's surprise strike for power. While U.S. Ambasador MAXWELL TAYLOR -- the man very much on the spot in this crisis -- was flying back to his Vietnam post, Robert K. McCabe in Hong Kong and Francois Sully in Saigon cabled reports evaluating the critical situation in Southeast Asia and the role Taylor has played. Back home, Associate Editor Raymond Carroll interviewed Roger Hilsman, a top authority on Asia, for his answers to the Vietnam riddle. General Editor Joel Blocker wrote the report.

CAMPAIGN '64: The election battle heats up on the stump (page 29), in the press (page 68), and on TV (page 76). One key issue: the control of nuclear arms. The opposing positions and a rundown on the NATO atomic arsenal (page 33). President Johnson and Barry Goldwater.

NEGROES IN PARIS: key, "In the United States, I'm just another ni**er. Here in Paris, I'm me" one of the 1,500 American Negro expatriates tells NEWSWEEK bureauman F. Yorick Blumenfeld. For some, there is a new sense of freedom, but for others the going is just as rough as it was at home.

MUSIC, DANCE, AND SOMETHING OR OTHER: With superb music, an overwhelming reception, and spaghetti al dente, Italy's La Scala Opera opens the season in Moscow. Bureau chief Robert J. Korengold reports on the glittering autumn nights ssett in the Soviet capital. With less pleasure, MUSIC-DANCE editor Hubert Saal views the opening in New York of the Leningrad Kirov Ballet, and an "Originale" dealing with birds, beasts, and Bach.

WHAT PRICE AUTO PEACE?: The settlement between the United Auto Workers and Chrysler Corp. brings instant elation. But questions remain. Will General Motors accept the pattern? Has a new wage-price spiral begun? Detroit bureauman Tom Nicholson and General Editor Lawrence S. Martz, SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS.
