TOP OF THE WEEK:
GOOD-BY TO THE '60S:
Newsweek cover stories customarily draw
on the combined efforts of reporters, writers, researchers and editors. But for this
week's retrospective on the kaleidoscopic
1960s, the magazine chose instead to ask
one man to tell the story.
The choice was tailored to the decade.
General Editor Kenneth Auchincloss, 32,
was newly graduated from Harvard (Class of Auchincloss
'59) when the '60s began and, after two
years at Oxford, got a taste of the New Frontier while working on
the Kennedy round of international trade negotiations. In 1965, he
joined Newsweek, first as a staffer in international, then as a Na-
tional Affairs writer. His assignments have run the wide range of
the problems and the personalities of the 'decade from the peace
movement to the Eugene McCarthy Presidential campaign to Jac-
queline Kennedy's marriage to Aristotle Onassis and, in the last few
months, to the ups and downs of Spiro T. Agnew and Clement
F. Haynsworth.
As a companion piece to Auchincloss's review of the decade,
General Editor Raymond k 'Sokolov, Harvard '63, compiled an informal lexicon of
the rich and arcane slang of the '60s.
As Auchincloss's piece makes clear, the
'60s surprised nearly everyone. A long decade ago, the editors of Newsweek devoted an
entire issue to predictions and speculations
about the decade. In it, they proclaimed the
'60s as "the decade of man in space." They
predicted rising defense costs and Federal
spending, rising local taxes, foot-dragging in
the South on school integration, increased
urbanization, a decline in the influence of
the farm vote and over-all continuity in our form of government.
Commuter snags, the jet age, urban renewal, African nationalism
were all dawning, and Newsweek identified them as crucial themes.
The issue foresaw that Charles de Gaulle would stand in the way of
European political unity and that the basic geographic outlines of
the cold war would not shift.
The crystal ball sometimes turned cloudy. President Eisenhower
did not propose the creation of a super Cabinet officer equivalent to
Prime Minister, nor did a "strong man" seize power in Ceylon. The
magazine could not anticipate the potential for war in Southeast Asia,
the Cuban missile crisis, students at the barricades, black power,
njicldle-class drug use, the triumph of rock music, the wave of assas-
sinations that shocked the nation or the variegated new life styles
that confused it. Thus, the essence of the age was its very unpre-
dictability. The lesson is not lost on Newsweek as the '70s dawn.
As Auchincloss writes: "We are still too involved, have set too much
in motion, have disturbed our institutions and ourselves too greatly
to have any very clear ideas about how things will turn out."
NEW MOOD ON CAMPUS -- A NEWSWEEK POLL:
Despite incidents of student activism, the U.S. campus has been
marked by a striking change: so far in 1969-70, it is largely calm.
To explore the new mood, and sample a range of campus views and
conduct from protest to drugs to pre-marital sex, Newsweek asked
The Gallup Organization to interview a national cross-section of students. In addition, Newsweek's 38 campus correspondents filed reports. One major finding: radical groups such as SDS are losing
ground. Education editor Peter k .Janssen wrote the story.
