COVER: Mr. Law-and-Order: Attorney General John Newton Mitchell.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
MR. LAW-AND-ORDER: He is the second most powerful man in Richard Nixon's Washington--a cool, contained Wall Street bond lawyer who ranks today not only as the President's Mr. Law-and-Order but as his counselor on the whole sweep of national problems. Though his only working ideology is pragmatism, Attorney General John Newton Mitchell has helped guide the Administration rightward--and one consequence last week was a near-mutiny among the career civil-rights lawyers in his own department. Washington reporter Robert Shogan interviewed the A.G. on a cross-country jetliner and examined his record at Justice, while White House correspondent Henry Hubbard assayed Mitchell's place in the Administration. From their files, Senior Editor Peter Goldman profiles Mr. Nixon's most influential Cabinet member. (Newsweek cover photo by Wally McNamee.).

VIETNAM: STILL A MORASS: Since President Nixon is clearly determined to get U.S. troops out of Vietnam as rapidly as possible, he must have had compelling reasons for deciding, as he did recently, to postpone announcement of a second round of troop withdrawals. But even within the Administration, there was disagreement as to just what his reasons were. The apparent contradictions--and inherent weaknesses--of the Administration's Vietnam policy are described by Senior Editor Dwight Martin, from files from State Department correspondent Henry L. Trewhitt, Pentagon correspondent Lloyd Norman and White House correspondent Joel Blocker--whose talks last week with several high government officials contribute new insights into the Administration's thinking. In companion pieces, Associate Editor Raymond Carroll, with files from Kevin Buckley in Saigon, tells the story of Alpha Company, while Associate Editor Russell Watson describes the CIA's decision to talk of its part in the Green Beret case.

THE INQUEST AT MARTHA'S VINEYARD: Now it was time for the inquest--the first full-scale investigation into the mystery of what happened the night Teddy Kennedy's car ran off Dyke Bridge on CHAPPAQUIDDICK and Mary Jo Kopechne died. While the lawyers argued over the ground rules last week in Edgartown, Mass., Contributing Editor Charles Roberts wound up his own month-long investigation of the affair--an assignment on which he retraced Teddy's fateful ride and his movements afterward, interviewed witnesses and pieced together a reconstruction of the events. His report surveys the ground that the inquest will cover, examines the questions it will have to ask--and assesses its probable impact on Sen. Kennedy's reputation.
