[Published right after the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy.] TOP OF THE WEEK: THE COVER.Through the week, the process of healing went on. It came from the moving and impressive ceremony of America burying her dead leader. It came from the magnificent courage and dignity of the young widow who bore her terrible burden with almost superhuman fortitude. And it came from the forthright performance of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the nation's 36th President, in his first week at the head of the government. It was 26 years ago that Mr. Johnson, then making his initial run for a seat in Congress, was first quoted in NEWSWEEK. Speaking to a crowd in Austin, Texas, he said: "If you want a pussyfooter, if you want a fence rider who has to take a poll every time he casts a vote, you don't want Lyndon Johnson." Now, after Mr. Johnson's first few days in his new office and after his eloquent speech to the joint session of Congress, the nation is sure it has no fence rider; it has a President. On pages 19 to 48, this week's issue discusses the new President's busy first week on the job, the men he is likely to tap for service, by the political outlook for '64, the Negro reaction to the new President, the new First Lady and her family, Jacqueline Kennedy in her time of trial, the Presidential funeral, the operations of the Secret Serv- ice, the strange odyssey of Oswald and Ruby, and the city of Dallas, Texas, as it searches for its soul. Also, the foreign reaction, page 56; how Castro took the news, page 53; the state of business confidence, page 77; how television covered the week's events, page 88; and, in place of the LETTERS column, a roundup of comment gathered by NEWSWEEK correspondents. COVERING THE PRESIDENT. News is where the President is, and in nine years of covering the White House for NEWSWEEK, veteran correspondent Charles Roberts has logged hundreds of thousands of miles staying close to Dwight D. Eisenhower on his many trips, then following John F. Kennedy to Newport, Hyannis Port, Palm Beach, and on the campaign trail. He was with the Presidential party at the time of the slaying in Dallas and was one of three reporters privileged to hear Lyndon Johnson take the oath of office, then one of two who made the sad flight back to Washington aboard Air Force One. The change-over was made, and Roberts was on the job-covering the nation's Chief Executive. (In photo, Ray Scherer of NBC interviews Roberts, right.)
