Cover Illustration ("Teddy Roosevelt leading the charge up San Juan Hill") by Robert Van Nutt. TOP OF THE WEEK: IN SEARCH OF HEROES: John Wayne is gone. The sports stars are haggling over package deals or babbling on talk shows. A cynical age has accepted the tarnished coin of celebrity in place of heroism. Where have all the heroes gone? Pete Axthelm began his search for the answer at the Alamo (left), and reached some optimistic conclusions. Biographer Edmund Morris reflects on a towering American hero, Theodore Roosevelt, and NEWSWEEK offers ten candidates, famous and unsung, for modern heroism. And columnist George F. Will discusses what we want of our heroes. ECHOES OF BALANCHINE: The pervasive influence of dance wizard George Balanchine is evident in two new works by Jerome Robbins and Peter Martins, performed back-to-back in Saratoga, N.Y., by the New York City Ballet. Although poles apart in style and spirit, both evoke the old master. Danish-born dancer-choreographer Martins tells how he feels about being the sorcerer's apprentice. THE BIRTH OF LIFE: How did life on Earth begin? How did dead molecules become living organisms and then plants, animals and people? This is one of the great mysteries. Theories abound, from the extraterrestrial to the simply fortuitous, but scientists think they're closer than ever to an answer. MRS. PRESIDENT: She reads what he reads. She edits his speeches, meets with his aides and consults on everything from political strategy to personnel changes. Rosalynn Carter is a one-woman Kitchen Cabi- net--and she played a key role in persuading the President to change his political style and rearrange his Cabinet. Last week, she defended the shake-up on a four-day, four-state tour, bringing word that "Jimmy is healthy, happy and optimistic about the future.., and so am I.".
