Who would be the man who . . . ? Some faces looked familiar: the duel between Richard Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller seemed almost a replay of the 1960 campaign (right). But there were new faces as well -- notably California's charismatic Gov. Ronald Reagan, plus Chuck Percy of Illinois and John Lindsay of New York as dark horses. To preview the convention and the convention city, chief political correspondent James M. Cannon, News Editor Hal Bruno and Atlanta bureau chief Joseph B. Cumming Jr. led a vanguard of Newsweek's convention task force of 50 reporters, writers, editors and photographers. From their files, General Editors Peter Goldman and Edward Kosner and Associate Editor David Gelman wrote the cover report. (News- week cover design by James Houston; photograph by Herbert Smit.). THE CZECHS SEE IT THROUGH: The dramatic confrontation between the world's second mightiest nation and one of its small client states ended in what appeared to be a stunning victory for the junior partner. From Czechoslovakia, News- week's Alan Tillier and Bruce van Voorst report on last week's showdown between Czech and Russian leaders. And from Washington, Leon Volkov, drawing on his long experience of Communist affairs, appraises the consequences of Moscow's backdown. LBJ VS. STEEL: What began as a peaceful labor settlement in the steel industry became a major White House-business confrontation last week as steelmen announced price increases to cover costs of the agreement. The President, hitting the intended increases as inflationary, moved swiftly to punish the industry by steering government steel buying away from price-hiking companies. But the industry showed little sign of backing off. Using dispatches from Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburgh, and from Washington correspondent Henry T. Simmons, Associate Editor John DeMott wrote the story. THE POPE'S BITTER PILL: In a historic 7,000-word encyclical, Pope Paul VI sternly proclaimed that artificial birth control is a mortal sin. The response from millions of Roman Catholics was amazement, anger -- and, in many instances, simple defiance. In his story, Newsweek's Religion editor Kenneth L. Woodward analyzes the controversy and its potentially profound impact on the church. STEWART ALSOP'S DEBUT: With this issue, one of America's distinguished journalists, Stewart Alsop, makes his Newsweek debut as a weekly columnist. He writes on the beginning of the end of Pax Americana -- the postwar world order generated by America's pre-eminent global position.
