TOP OF THE WEEK:
INSIDE NIXON'S WHITE HOUSE: In the "bunker atmosphere" at the Nixon White House, press secretary Ronald Ziegler has become a conspicuous insider. He is the last survivor of the original Nixon crowd -- a young loyalist whose company seems to give comfort to a besieged President. With files from Henry L. Trewhitt and Thomas M. DeFrank at San Clemente, and Hal Bruno, Henry W. Hubbard and John Lindsay in Washington, Senior Editor Peter Goldman describes the White House mood and profiles Ziegler.

OIL: BY THE NUMBERS: The skepticism about the oil shortage continued to grow last week -- so much so that Federal energy czar William Simon launched a new effort to master the oil numbers game, and four Congressional committees scheduled hearings on various aspects of the crisis. With files from Washington, General Editor Michael Ruby assesses the latest twist in the energy story. On page 38, international oil expert Walter Levy and Newsweek economic correspondent Rich Thomas offer their two contrasting views of the economic consequences of the crisis and what they believe can be done about it.

GOVERNOR WALLICH: Henry C. Wallich, 59, professor of economics at Yale and a Newsweek columnist since 1965, has been nominated by President Nixon to be a governor of the Federal Reserve Board, which controls the U.S. money supply. Wallich will discontinue his column.

GOING CRITICAL: Newsweek's recent special issue on "The Arts in America" included a section on the critics, which has occasioned a remarkably strong reaction from a number of critics who dislike the whole idea of being criticized. Senior Editor and drama critic Jack Kroll, who edited the special issue, answers the critics' criticism of being criticized.

LAUGHS: Comedy is riding high on television, and dozens of the funniest faces belong to Carol Burnett. From reports by Martin Kasindorf, Media editor Harry F. Waters describes Burnett and the tube's other top laugh producers.
