COVER: WHY TEACHERS FAIL. How to make them better. COVER: Illustration by Comart Aniforms.
TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
WHY TEACHERS ARE FAILING: The American teacher is in trouble. With public attention focused on the failing quality of
education in the nation's public schools, educators-and the public-are taking a harder look at the way teachers themselves are
taught. What critics are finding is an appalling lack of rigor and selectivity in schools of education-and little consensus on
what makes a good teacher. Facing the prospect of a serious teacher shortage, reformers are examining new ways to attract
more talented people to the classroom and methods to improve their training. Page 64.
BYE-BYE BEACHES: Sea walls built to save the beaches only make them more vulnerable to natural forces. Beachless beaches,
like some that have already been created in California (right), may be the wave of the future. Page 74.
THE RETURN OF FIGHTIN' FRITZ: Walter Mondale's campaign was fizzling and Ronald Reagan was on a roll-and last week,
shaken by national polls, Mondale and his men began a desperate search for new tactics to cut Reagan down to size. By the
weekend, he had re-emerged as Fightin' Fritz-but a new NEWSWEEK Poll reveals the dimensions of the president's commanding
lead as Campaign '84 heads into the stretch. Page 24.
GROMYKO AND REAGAN: Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko will meet President Reagan for the first time next week, and
the most important topic of discussion will be arms control. But amid signs of a power struggle in the Kremlin, it isn't at all
clear who's calling the shots for Moscow. Page 36.
THE BETTY FORD CURE: Despite the parade of celebrities, treatment is tough at the Betty Ford Center for drug and alcohol
rehabilitation in Rancho Mirage, Calif. A patient's inside report describes details of the famous program. Page 59.
