EISENHOWER, 1890-1969: Dwight David Eisenhower died in Washington last week, rich in years--he was 78--and encrusted with a half century of honors. World War II catapulted him f rpm obscurity as a 50-year-old lieutenant colonel; he rose swiftly to the rank of five-star general and, after reluctantly acceding to pressure to seek the Republican nomination, presided over eight years of normalcy as the 34th President of the U.S. Against all odds, the old soldier stood off four heart attacks during the past year and survived yet another operation--for an intestinal obstruction--and a subsequent bout with pneumonia. But on Friday, Ike at last kept his often-deferred rendezvous with death. (Cover photo by Robert Fréson.). AND NOW THE WAR: After a long and meticulous review of the situation, the Nixon Administration is beginning to reveal the thrust of its Vietnam policy. In sum, the President seems to have decided that the war in Vietnam is militarily unwinnable and that every effort must be made to bring it to a prompt conclusion. From reports by Newsweek's Saigon, Paris and Washington bureaus, General Editor Edward Klein writes the story of how the Administration hopes to resolve its most agonizing problem. CONGLOMERATE CRACKDOWN: The Nixon Administration moved against the swell of conglomerate mergers last week by announcing that it would file an antitrust suit against one of th biggest conglomerates of them all--$2.8 billion Ling-Temco-Vought. Specifically, the Justice Department's antitrust chief, Richard McLaren, wants LW to divest itself of control in Jones and Laughlin Steel Corp. From reports by Washington's James Jr. and correspondents elsewhere in the U.S., General Editor Thomas describes a move that could foreshadow the toughest antitrust campaign in years. WITH THE MINUTEMAN: The decision to go ahead with a limited anti-ballistic-missile system has focused attention on the Minuteman ICBM, the deterrent the ABM is supposed to guard. Recently, Newsweek Science and Space editor George Alexander visited a Minuteman base in North Dakota and accompanied a missile crew on its regular 40-hour tour of duty in an underground launch-control center. His report on the technological and human perplexities of this rarely seen world--including the problem of preventing the firing of the nuclear-tipped missiles by accident or treasonous design--is accompanied by two pages of photographs in color.
