COVER: TV COMEDY: What it's teaching the kids. Robin Williams, Stockard Channing, Gary Coleman.

TOP OF THE WEEK :
TELEVISION'S NEW COMEDY KICK: Ever since America fell in love with Lucy, the situation comedy has proved to be television's most enduring form of entertainment. This season, an unprecedented number of sitcoms dominate the dial, symbolizing a sweeping--and controversial--shift in how the industry views the viewers. Senior Writer Harry F. Waters (right) describes the reasons for this fixation with the electronic funnies, and especially with an alien named Mork from the planet Ork. He also analyzes some of the dubious messages that current television comedy is imparting to the kids who watch it. The networks' newest funny faces are profiled in accompanying articles. (NEWSWEEK cover photos by Dick Zimmerman.).

ON THE OFFENSIVE: After ten days' vacation in south Georgia, Jimmy Carter returned to political combat last week, his hair newly parted on the left--and his dander rising. He informally opened his campaign for re-election at a town meeting in New Hampshire.

He warned the American Academy of Sciences that oil lobbyists were trying to "hoodwink" Americans into accepting a loophole- riddled windfall-profits tax. He told the American Newspaper Publishers Association that a SALT II treaty was the only alternative to the nightmare of the arms race. And with his main political challengers still weak or on the sidelines, he seemed eager for next year's Presidential race.

THE CHARITY BATTLE: Americans gave a record $39.5 billion to char- ity last year, but inflation and the increasing cost of fund raising have forced many of the nation's 700,000 nonprofit groups into relent- less competition. Charities from coast to coast accuse the giant United Way of monopolizing office donations. Amid growing debate over philanthropy's proper role in the U.S., there is talk about new tax laws and new mechanisms to make charities more accountable to the public.

BLACK STUDENT ANGER: Students marched at Harvard (above), Amherst and Rutgers last week. The demonstrations--against declining support for black-studies programs and South African apartheid--reflected a mood of heightened alienation and frustration among black college students.

THAR SHE BLOWS: From the Gulf of Maine to San Ignacio Lagoon in Baja California, Mexico, the spectator sport of whale watching has turned enthusiasts fin over fluke. Humpback and finback whales in the Atlantic and California graybacks in the Pacific are drawing a new breed of human groupies, and which species most enjoys watching the other is an open question. Indeed, environmentalists now fear that all the attention may actually distract some whales from reproducing.
