TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
THE POPE'S MISSION TO POLAND: Pope John Paul II returns to his homeland this week for a "pilgrimage of hope"-and for a wary meeting with Gen. Wojciech Jaruzeiski, the martial-law ruler who has crushed Solidarity since the pope's first visit in 1979. NEWSWEEK'S coverage of the visit includes an interview with Solidarity leader Lech Walesa, an update on the investigation into the attempt on John Paul's life two years ago and an analysis of the pope's dream for a humanitarian society that will be neither Marxist nor capitalist. Page 36.

TURNING UP THE HEAT: The Reagan administration is talking tougher than ever on Central America. Last week it closed all Nicaraguan con- sulates in the United States and started overseeing a program designed to win the hearts and minds of peasants in El Salvador. Despite deep reservations in Congress, America is committed to two wars-overt in El Salvador and covert in Nicaragua (above). Page 18.

A COUNTRY TRADITION: Every year the stars of country music come down to earth for a week to greet thousands of loyal, gift-bearing, Instamatic-popping fans in Nashville. Columnist Pete Axthelm joined the singers-like Karen Brooks (left) -and the sung-to for this year's folksy Fan Fair. Page 68.

THATCHER'S LANDSLIDE: MARGARET THATCHER won a sweeping victory in the British elections and quickly got down to the job of remaking Britain. Her landslide buried the opposition Labor Party arid a centrist alliance of Social Democrats and Liberals. And it put Thatcher in a stronger position than ever to pursue her vision of revitalizing Britain's industry, beefing up its defenses and restoring its old pride. Page 30.

AN ABOUT-FACE AT THE FED?: A month ago, it was doubtful that Paul Volcker could win reappointment as chairman of the Federal Reserve when his term ran out in August. But a groundswell of support on Wall Street and Capitol Hill may prompt the president to keep him in the job. Page 53.
