COVER: What you should know about HEART ATTACKS. The Aspirin Breakthrough. The latest on Cholesterol, Diet and exercise. BUSH vs RATHER. Cover: Photo by George Hausman and Arty Beal.

TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
PREVENTING HEART ATTACKS: A new study shows that aspirin may play a dramatic role in preventing heart attacks, one of America's biggest killers. With an array of new technologies, doctors have made big gains in treating heart disease. But experts warn that millions of Americans remain at risk from high-cholesterol diets, smoking, lack of exercise and hypertension. Lifestyle: Page 50.

YUPPIE GIVING: BMW's and the Almighty Buck are out. The new Yuppie rallying cry is volunteerism. Increasingly, young professionals are penciling compassion into their appointment books. They see social programs as a way to salve consciences and meet new friends. Business: Page 42.

BUSH VS. RATHER: The shock waves from the TV clash between George Bush and Dan Rather reverberated through the political world last week. As it turned out, Bush had gone looking for a video fight and found it. Who won? After an initial advantage, the vice president was once again on the defensive about his role in the Iran-contra affair. National Affairs: Page 20.

THE PHANTOM: Boasting a record-breaking advance sale of $18 million, Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera" opened on Broadway last week. It offers melodrama, spectacle, silly fun-and a seductive, romantic score. The Arts: Page 68.

STAR WARS STRIKES BACK: The dream of a Star Wars defense system is gaining technological momentum. By the late 1990s it will be possible to deploy a space-based network to attack inbound missiles from almost the moment they are launched. But advances in Soviet technology could soon swamp the defenses, leaving Americans more vulnerable than if the system had never been deployed. International: Page 30.
