COVER: The Democrats: CAN THEY COME BACK? GERALDINE FERRARO. Cover: Photo by Ken Regan.

TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
HERE THEY GO AGAIN: Two contestants took the blocks last week for the final 75-day dash to decision-but Ronald Reagan started with the inside track and a long lead. in Dallas, rising GOP stars-including George Bush-were already looking toward 1988. Walter Mondale's pace was lagging under lingering questions about Geraldine Ferraro's finances. NEWSWEEK examines his plight, her disclosures and campaign-finance laws in the era of two-income families-and Ferraro and her husband discuss their ordeal in an interview. Page 18.

NOW, MATERNITY CHIC: With a baby boomlet under way and nearly half of the mothers-to-be holding down jobs, designers are delivering sophisticated maternity clothes. "If a pregnant woman wears ruffles," says one, "she loses ground." Page 64.

DID THE MILITARY KILL AQUINO? (PHILIPPINES) The disenchanted hit the streets of Manila on the first anniversary of Benigno Aquino's assassination. A board of investigation is studying evidence that suggests he was shot by military conspirators, not a lone-wolf assassin, investigators say attention has focused on the men who escorted Aquino off the plane. Page 42.

PUTTING THE ACCENT ON GRANDEUR: The postmodern era in architecture, with its splashy, decorative buildings, is hardly over. But a new spartan spirit is making itself felt as a wave of young designers, who emphasize craftsmanship, lasting dignity and blunt, almost primitive, geometry, begin to win commissions across the country. Page 70.

NFL SHAKERS AND FAKERS: Pretenders will lay claim to the Super Bowl crown now worn by the Los Angeles Raiders. But NEWSWEEK'S Pete Axthelm prediets the Raiders-led by superb cornerback Lester Hayes-will prevail again. Page 52.
