TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER: CAN THE RISK BE CUT? For the second time in seventeen days, the President of the United States hadabrush with death--and this time his assailant actually fired a shot. Gerald Ford was unhurt, but the incident raised serious doubts about how well he was being protected. Newsweek's cover package this week analyzes the incident in San Francisco and profiles the bizarre woman who fired at Ford. Companion stories report on the prospects for stricter gun-control laws and describe the emergence of a new strain of violence-prone woman. In the News Media section, a piece discusses whether the press contributes to a contagion of violence. Rounding out the Newsweek report, fourteen promi- nent Americans discuss whether the style of Presidential campaigning should be changed. This week's My Turn colum- nist, scholar James Biilington, explores the reasons for the rise of the terrorist. (Cover photo by Wally McNamee--Newsweek.).

JAPAN GROWS UP: This week Japan's Emperor Hirohito begins a historic visit to the U.S.--just as his country is embarking upon an uncertain new era. The postwar economic boom has halted and pollution threatens the quality of life. Searching for a new international role, the Japanese have adopted modern fashions while clinging to ancient tradition.

POWER OF THE PEN: To glamorize their autumn fashions, better department stores around the country are making dramatic use of evocative sketches. The stylized illustrations leave nuances of the new look up to the customer's imagination-- part of the provocative new advertising campaigns that have already given a significant boost to drooping retail revenues.

MAVERICK MASTER: Despite the monumental presence of his work at Lincoln Center (left), the reputation of the late ELIE NADELMAN has been in decline. Now, writes Jack Kroll, a stunning new exhibition of his sculpture at the Whitney Museum in New York should reawaken interest in this maverick master who tried to blend classical idealism with a modern sense of the erotic. New Role HOT MONEY: Consumers are switching savings into investments that earn more interest--signaling new trouble for the housing industryand the recovery, too.
