Cover: Steve Phillips, photo by George Hausman, construction by H. Aoki. TOP OF THE WEEK: WHY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE FLUNKING--PART ONE OF A SPECIAL REPORT: The failure may be more apparent than real, but the public verdict is in--and it amounts to a crisis of confidence in the public schools. Nearly half the respondents in a NEWSWEEK Poll think the schools are doing a poor or only fair job. Too many students don't want to learn, and too many teachers don't know how to teach. Growing numbers of parents are simply yanking kids out and paying to send them to private schools. To do justice to its scope and complexity, NEWS-WEEK examines the crisis in an unprecedented three- part series. This week's installment discusses the plight of the public system and the flight to private schools. Teachers--how they learn and how they teach--will be the subject of next week's installment. Part Three will explore some solutions and a few signs of hope. EDUCATION editor Dennis A. Williams and a task force of reporters--Vincent Coppola, Lucy Howard, Janet Huck, Patricia King, Christopher Ma and Sylvester Monroe--spent weeks on the assignment. Senior Editor Susan Fraker supervised the project. THE PRESIDENT'S MEN Twelve days after he was shot, Ronald Reagan returned the hospital last week, but it will be several weeks before he is able to resume his full duties. More ever, he will be relying on his three closest aides in the Administration--Edwin Meese, James Band Michael Deaver. The trio, largely unknown e public, wields vast power in shaping policy and determining access to the President. NEWSWEEK examines their role and describes their special relationship to Reagan and to each other. RED HARVEST: One of the few artists with an appeal to kids as well as critics is Red Grooms, who affectionately spoofs modern life in painting, sculpture and huge installations. A new show in New York brings out his more serious side, but there are plenty of crowd pleasers like the sandwich man (below). THE MISSION OF SPACE-SHUTTLE COLUMBIA: The space-shuttle Columbia was scheduled to be launched last Sunday after a last-minute glitch blocked its initial takeoff attempt two days earlier. The countdown to launch had gone almost flawlessly; then, less than twenty minutes before takeoff, two of the orbiter's five onboard computers failed, by a matter of thousandths of a second, to communicate properly with a backup computer. The delay--disappointing to about a million onlookers who had jammed Cape Canaveral--has become almost routine for the shuttle project, but NASA hoped it would be quickly forgotten when Columbia finally got off the ground.
