TOP OF THE WEEK: COVER: The 747 Heralds a New Jet Age: Eleven years ago the arrival of the first Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 jet airliners revolutionized commercial air travel. Now a new and larger airplane, the Boeing 747, is about to make its debut, carrying nearly 500 passengers on two luxurious levels. The aviation in- dustry sees in the 747 the coming of a second jet age, a new millennium. It also will create a tremendous financial burden for the airlines, and loose a flood of passengers on world airports that have hardly caught up with those they must handle in the first jet age. To sort out the promise and problems of the 747, San Francisco bureau chief Gerald C. Lubenow visited the Boeing factory at Everett, Wash., and Assistant Editor August von Muggenthaler dug into what operation of the 747 will mean to both the airlines and their passengers. General Editor Tom Nicholson wrote this week's cover story. (News- week cover design by Noel Sickles.) WHAT HAPPENED ON M DAY: The parents of John F. Scull Jr., a Green Beret killed in Vietnam three years ago, condemned it as a "national disgrace." Milton B. Olive Jr., who lost two sons in Vietnam, took another view. "I think we'll never get out of the war unless public opinion is brought against it," he said. As it ranged across thousands of campuses and communities last week, the moratorium on the war in Vietnam -- the most massive antiwar demonstration in U.S. history -- reflected the intensity of Americans' desire to end the war -- and their division over how to do it. To cover M Day, Newsweek called in reports from every domestic bureau and more than 30 campus correspondents -- a total of 200,000 words. From this material, Senior Editor Dwight Martin describes the clash between the moratorium and the man in the White House, General Editor Robert Littell details the events of the momentous day and, on page 110, Education editor Peter Janssen assesses the impact on U.S. campuses. In a companion piece, White House correspondent Joel Blocker reports on the Nixon Administration's largely unsuccessful efforts to keep the lines of communication open to youthful dissenters. FOUR IMPOSSIBLE AFTERNOONS: The once hapless New York Mets had won 103 games and soared from the depths of the National League to win the pennant. But what could they do against the American League's proud, experienced Baltimore Orioles, who had more victories and gaudier statistics? The answer turned out to be: more of the incredible same. In four impossible afternoons last week, the Mets won the world baseball championship. With reporting aid from Assistant Editor Peter Bonventre, Sports editor Pete Axthelm wrote the story, which is accompanied by two pages of color photos of the amazing Mets in action.
