When all the bids were opened, the total stood at a record-shattering $900 million; one tract alone went for more than $72 million, ten times what the U.S. paid Russia for Alaska in 1867. The U.S. North Slope effort was reported by correspondents William J. Cook and Gerald C. Lubenow, who were on hand in Anchorage last week. From their reports, and files from Henry T. Simmons and James Bishop Jr. in Washington and other Newsweek bureaus, Associate Editor Jack Iams wrote the story. (Cover photo by David Moore -- Black Star, courtesy of Standard Oil Co. [New Jersey].) VIETNAM:WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?: "Frankly," confided a U.S. military spokesman in Saigon, "we are just as mystified as you are." Though he was referring to the on-again, off-again B-52 raids in South Vietnam, his sense of confusion was shared by many Americans concerning the entire course of President Nixon's Vietnam policy. In a week of faux pas, false starts and official obfuscation, the Nixon Administration seemed, for the moment at least, to have lost control over the management of the war. From files supplied by Newsweek bureaus in Washington and Saigon, General Editor Edward Klein describes the Administration's puzzling performance. CAMPUS OUTLOOK: Officially, the Nixon Administration's education experts are predicting peaceful coexistence on the 2,400 U.S. college campuses this academic year. But a survey of some of the schools involved in last year's upheavals shows that many issues remain unresolved -- and that students are likely to take their disaffection off campus as well. The survey was done by Education Editor Peter Janssen, reporters Judith Gingold and Phyllis Malamud and Newsweek bureaus in Chicago, Boston and San Francisco. THE FAR SIDE OF NASA: One astronaut wondered, only half facetiously, whether the astronauts should go on strike before he chose to resign from the program instead. Another astronaut took the space program to court in order to stay on flight status. A NASA scientist quit in despair over the power of the space engineers. This is a side of the national space program unknown to most Americans. Associate Editor Thomas Plate, aided by Washington correspondent Evert Clark and Houston's Kent Biffle, reports on some of the NASA hassles that went on even during the moonwalk.
