TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER STORY: BETTY FORD, THE OPERATION: A routine physical exam discovered a tumor in Betty Ford's right breast.

Surgery was prompt and apparently successful, but the blow was severe--and it raised questions whether Gerald Ford would be a candidate in 1976. In Washington, John 1. Lindsay, Tom Joyce, Jane Whitmore, Stephan Lesher, Nancy Ball, Thomas M.

DeFrank and Norma Milligan filed on the cover story. Senior Editor Russell Watson wrote it, Sandra Salmans profiled Mrs.

Ford and Jean Seligmann did the companion story on breast cancer. (Cover photo by Wally McNamee-- Newsweek.).

OUT--AND IN: Beset by a host of family troubles and still plagued by the lingering specter of Chappaquiddick, Sen. Edward Kennedy bowed out of the 1976 Presidential sweepstakes--and touched off a scramble among other Democratic contenders. With files from Hal Bruno, John J. Lindsay and Samuel Shaffer, David M. Alpern tells the Kennedy story and James Gaines profiles the party's instant hopefuls.

SWEAT AND TOIL: President Ford went to the summit with 800 assorted experts and received a jumble of advice on beating inflation. One suggestion is for a volunteer army of "inflation fighters and energy sayers." Rich Thomas, David Pauly and Allan J. Mayer collaborated on the story.

RHODA! Mary Tyler Moore's droll TV sidekick, Rhoda, is a star in her own right this season. VALERIE HARPER has left Mary for her own sitcom, and early Nielsen returns rate "Rhoda" a smash. With files from Sunde Smith, Harry F. Waters writes of Rhoda and the MTM funny factory.

NEW OIL WAR: Friendly persuasion didn't work, so the U.S. has begun to talk tough with the Mideast oil producers. Tom Mathews describes the new American strategy and Richard Steele examines the options open to the U.S. to end the worldwide oil crisis. Arnaud de Borchgrave, who has interviewed top Arab leaders in the past month, outlines how they intend to force the West to bargain with them as equals.

JOE'S PLACE: Washington, D.C., last week welcomed a new museum housing the vast art collection of the legendary--ahd controversial--JOSEPH H. HIRSHHORN. Douglas Davis analyzes the Hirshhorn phenomenon. And Paris feted 100 years of impressionism. Two pages of color accompany the stories.
