Rarely has man's capacity for both triumph and tragedy been more apparent. Those twin themes were present constantly in a week that would be long remembered. The week began on two notes of triumph. In Tokyo, where some 8,000 performers from 94 nations began competing for 499 Olympic medals, record after record was smashed as the U.S. team gathered an astonishing share of the honors (page 70). Then came the Soviet Union's magnificent triumph in space-three men orbiting the earth for 24 hours, sending back messages and talking, ironically, with Nikita Khrushchev (page 98). Next a personal tragedy; the sorry affair of Walter Jenkins, close confidant of President Johnson. It was, of course, more than the tragedy of one man, for Jenkins' fall could affect the careers of many and even turn the election tide (page 32). But if the Democrats had suffered a sharp setback, the shocking events of the next two days may have offset possible damage to them. Americans first got word of the dramatic shift in the Kremlin as they huddled around radio and television awaiting the outcome of the World Series -- a curious event in its own right as both winning and losing managers vacated their jobs (page 72). The Soviets had held their own version of an election "during the night when we were sleeping," as one Russian girl told a NEWSWEEK reporter. The upheaval in the Kremlin far overshadowed the tight British election which saw Labor returned with a paper-thin majority (page 56). Now Khrushchev was in disgrace, and Kosygin and Brezhnev (NEWSWEEK cover photo by Elio Sorci) assumed the uneasy mantle of power (page 45). The change delighted the Red Chinese, who had another rea1son to crow as they joined the atomic powers (page 54). Those, then, were the high points in the week's bewildering kaleidoscope of events. Now it was time for men everywhere to ponder the new forces that had been set in motion, for in today's world nothing is more certain than the danger of uncertainty.
