COVER: MOTHERS for HIRE. The Battle for Baby M. Surrogate Mother Mary Beth Whitehead. Cover: Photo by Rich Gigli- The Record.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
THE 'BABY M' DILEMMA: When a New Jersey couple offered to pay Mary Beth Whitehead to bear a child for them, the arrangement was similar to hundreds of such deals. But after "Baby M" was born, Whitehead had second thoughts-and she fled with the child she now wants to keep. The case has called into question both the adaptability of the law to social change and the traditional definition of parenthood. Litestyle: Page 44.

THE '88 ISSUE: Political prophets think they know the issue that will win in 1988 and dominate the agenda for years to come: competitiveness. But is the nation ready to catch fire over its world trade slump and the need for a work ethic? National Affairs: Page 14.

GIFT OF SONG: Fusing pop soul with jazz, Anita Baker's hit it big in R&B and video, and has a hot album, "Rapture." The Arts: Page 56.

NEW SCANDAL?: Armed with purloined documents, a former employee of Salomon Inc.'s Philipp Brothers (Phibro) subsidiary is telling the Commodity Futures Trading Commission an intriguing tale. He claims customers who traded cocoa futures contracts with Phibro between 1981 and 1984 were cheated on a massive scale. Phibro and two ex-cocoa traders have already been subpoenaed in an inquiry that could become the commodity industry's equivalent of Wall Street's in- Crossover queen: Baker sider scandal. Business: Page 36.

A GALACTIC TINKERTOY: Next month NASA will take its first steps toward realizing a long-deferred dream: a manned space station. But the multi-billion-dollar project raises a host of questions, including: is it worth it? Society: Page 52.
