COVER: Storm over EL SALVADOR. Cover: Photo by Aslak Aar-hus--Sipa-Black Star.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
STORM OVER EL SALVADOR: A handful of U.S. military advisers in El Salvador is now training pilots, patching up a tiny navy and laying plans to funnel even more arms to a government caught up in a bloody civil war. NEWSWEEK'S cover package assesses Ronald Reagan's controversial policy in El Salvador and profiles Jose Napoleon Duarte, the head of the Salvadoran junta. A separate story examines the social and economic tensions mounting in the other countries of Central America.

AT LONG LAST MOTHERHOOD: It may not be a boom yet, but more than 3.6 million babies were born in the United States last year, the highest number since 1970. One reason: profound "baby hunger" among women who have put off having children. For growing numbers of urban career women in their 30s, some of them unmarried, the time for motherhood is now.

THE DEFENSE BUILDUP: The Administration last week asked Congress for the biggest boost in the defense budget in peacetime history--a $32.6 billion increase over two years. The funds will build a 600-ship Navy and bring old warships like the New Jersey (above) out of mothballs. NEWSWEEK examines the defense buildup and George F. Will looks at the Navy's role.

WHAT CAUSES AGING?: Man's dream of longer life has at last emerged from the shadow of folklore and landed squarely in science. Some researchers believe aging is genetically programed; others suspect it is caused by genetic damage that occurs faster than cells' ability to repair it. If the second group is right, improving the repair system may slow aging.

HAIL TO THE DUKE: Broadway has what looks like a big new musical hit in "Sophisticated Ladies," a glittering salute to the late Duke Ellington. Critic Jack Kroll praises its energy and performers, led by Gregory Hines and Judith Jamison (right), but finds the show makes no real attempt to convey the range, moods and flavors of Ellington's music.
