COVER: NEW STAR in BROADWAY: JAMES EARL JONES.TOP OF THE WEEK:
BACK IN ORBIT: The familiar countdown began again last week at Cape Kennedy as the long pause in the U.S. manned spaceflight program ended. With the initial success of the Apollo 7 launching, the way seems clear for an American attempt to orbit the moon in December.THE \'68 CAMPAIGN: AN ANTICLIMAX?: The 1968 Presidential campaign approached its climax as a foregone anticlimax--a seeming runaway marked by sloganeering from the front runner and name-calling among the also-rans (page 30). With a fat 15-point Gallup poll lead over Hubert Humphrey, Richard Nixon is laying on a glossily packaged campaign cavalcade (page 32). One source of Nixon\'s self-confidence: increasing evidence that the Republicans are putting together a new winning coalition (page 30). But in one field Nixon and Humphrey are dealing substantively with the issues. General Editor Lawrence S. Martz examines the surprisingly sharp and sophisticated economic positions of the major candidates and their brain trusts (page 78).THE WAR IN VIETNAM: CHANGING TIMES: McGeorge Bundy, the former Presidential aide who originally advocated the massive U.S. buildup in Vietnam, declared last week that military victory was no longer possible or desirable. And in recent months the new U.S. commander in Vietnam, Gen. Creighton W. Abrams, has adopted a limited and essentially defensive strategy. From files by Joel Blocker, Merton D. Perry and Robert Stokes in Saigon and Pentagon correspondent Lloyd Norman, General Editor Edward Klein describes the changes that Abrams has made.COVER STORY: NEW STAR ON BROADWAY: \"I might even become a star ... but I\'ll never be a rich actor.\" So said JAMES EARL JONES in 1963 when Newsweek\'s Mel Gussow wrote one of the first stories about the dynamic and promising Negro actor. Now, five years later, James Earl Jones is a very big star, and it\'s hard to see how he can even avoid getting rich. Jones\'s brilliantly powerful performance in Howard Sackler\'s play \"The Great White Hope\" is one of those rare instances of the right man in the right vehicle at the right time. As a character based on the fantastic and tragic Jack Johnson, first Negro world heavyweight champion, Jones has created an immense and many-leveled role. From his own interviews and from background files by reporter Elizabeth Bochnak, Assistant Editor Ruth Ross and others, Associate Editor Gussow provides an in-depth look at the dynamic personality who may become the most important black actor yet produced The U.S. (Newsweek cover photo by Henri Dauinan.).CONTENTS/NEWSWEEK LISTINGS:
