COVER: SUMMIT of '74 -- President Richard Nixon, Soviet Leader Leonid Brezhnev.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
SUMMIT OF '74: Richard Nixon and Leonid Brezhnev staged a friendly reunion at another Moscow summit last week. Mr. Nixon put stress on the "personal" quality of his summitry, but his hosts seemed anxious to stress continuity with whoever is President of the U.S. With files from Henry L. Trewhitt, Jay Axelbank and Alfred Friendly Jr., Richard Steele wrote the story. (Cover photo by Wally McNamee -- Newsweek.)

NIXON'S DEFENSE: James St. Clair, the President's canny defense lawyer, spent two days before the House impeachment panel last week trying out the case for Richard Nixon -- and came away with decidedly mixed notices even from sympathetic Republicans. With files from correspondents Henry W. Hubbard, Stephan Lesher and John 1. Lindsay in Wash. ington, Senior Editor Peter Goldman reviews the Nixon defense and its flaws.

SEA CHANGES: Some historians chronicle kings and wars and economic change. But France's PHILIPPE ARIES has won rising acclaim for his accounts of subtler shifts -- in attitudes toward childhood and death. With files from Scott Sullivan, Kenneth L. Woodward reports.

A TALK WITH RABIN: Whatever progress has been made toward peace in the Middle East, the problem of the displaced Palestinians remains unresolved. Last week, Israel seemed to be moving closer to a showdown with neighboring Lebanon over attacks on Israeli settlements by Palestinian terrorists who use Lebanon as a refuge. In Jerusalem, Israel's new Prime Minister, YITZHAK RABIN (above, left), granted his first private interview since taking office to Newsweek Senior Editor Arnaud de Borch- grave. Rabin was uncompromising against new concessions to the Palestinians and Syrians. But he left the door open to diplomatic initiatives with Jordan and the Soviet Union.

WORLD RECESSION?: The old 1,000-mark note (below) was practically worthless in the catastrophic inflation after World War I. To keep history from repeating itself in a new worldwide recession, the industrialized countries are trying to cool their economies. With files from Rich Thomas in Washington and other Newsweek bureaus, Michael Ruby analyzes the dangers.
