COVER: Challenge to Moscow: POLAND's LECH WALESA. Cover: Walesa by Alain Dejean-Sygma, construction by H. Aoki, photo by Ed Gallucci.
TOP OF THE WEEK:
REAGAN'S WORLD: Interest rates were soaring, inflation was on the boil, a renewed slump was near-and
Ronald Reagan was learning that he would be helpless to undo the short-term damage. His advisers were
still debating his tax and spending plans as Reagan repaired to his California ranch to contemplate a
Cabinet-and accept the regrets of two top candidates. Page 28.
POLAND'S CHALLENGE TO MOSCOW: The crises were following one after another in Poland. Workers struck
commuter rail lines, mines and textile mills and threatened a paralyzing general walkout in Warsaw. The
beleaguered Communist government offered the unionists still more concessions. Amid the turmoil, some
experts began predicting that a Soviet invasion of Poland might be only a matter of time. In its cover
story, NEWSWEEK reports on the deadly game of brinkmanship between the workers and their Communist
overlords. A companion story and George F. Will's column examine the impact of Poland's master
gamesman, Lech Walesa-an unemployed electrician turned leader of the Soviet bloc's only independent
union. Page 40.
ITALY'S KILLER QUAKE: "Don't let me die like this," cried survivors buried in the rubble of Italy's deadliest
earthquake in 65 years. But thousands did die-many because help came so slowly. A second story
examines the theory of plate tectonics, which explains how earthquakes happen. Page 50.
PREPPY CHIC: The style of the prep-school set has come out of the top drawer and into the mainstream. The result: an outbreak of preppy chic that has made Shetland shirts hot holiday gifts. And for those who
want to act like all the Chips and Mittens, there's even a new guide book. Page 88.
YULETIDE BOOKS: 'Tis the season to be well-off if you're shopping for gift books. This year's top price is
$4,500 for a Michelangelo book, but for less you can ogle works by such sweaters and button-down other
great artists as Ingres and Cranach, dazzling bird and photography books and a colossal movie book
starring the likes of Gable and Crawford. Page 98.
