COVER: ADDICTIVE PERSONALITIES. Who gets hooked on drugs and alcohol -- and why. Kitty Dukakis: Her Private Struggle. COVER: Photo by John Nordell-J.B. Pictures.
TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
THE MYSTERY OF ADDICTION: The chemically dependent are often haunted, self-doubting escapists. Just as often, they are reckless sensation seekers and antisocial. But some common thread seems to bind them to an nddictive way of life. Last week's revelation that Kitty Dukakis was entering a treatment program for alcoholism following her husband's election defeat raises a complicated scientific and medical question: is there such a thing as an "addictive personality"? Why do some people become addicts while others don't? Drugs and alcohol are casting an outsize shadow across the land. Lifestyle: Page 52.
THE PASSING OF AN AGE: HIROHITO, A NEW ERA: Members of a special task force in the Japanese Foreign Ministry are working late into the night. More than 140 national delegations are set to attend next week's observances for Emperor Hirohito. Japan's government must guarantee their safety and mesh tricky rules of diplomatic protocol with traditional Shinto ritual-while displaying itself in the best light for domestic public opinion. International: Page 24.
BUSY BATONS: At last, American conductors are leading many of America's orchestras. A new generation is flourishing as the number of orchestras grows and the preference for Old World maestros fades away. Michael Tilson Thomas in rehearsal. The Arts: Page 60.
A BUDGET WISH LIST: In his first address to Con- gress, President Bush outlined a budget that would increase spending on dozens of social programs while rolling back taxes on capital gains. The strategy: make the private sector do most of the work. But Bush's economic forecasts were widely criticized as too sunny, and congressional Democrats are girding for a tough budget fight. Business: Page 32.
CAPITAL RULES Only three weeks after President Bush declared ethics a major theme of his administration, Washington was awash in ethical controversies, most of them featuring Bush appointees. The disputes showed just how quickly capital rules can change. National Attairs: Page 16.
