COVER: BRACING for the big one. The Lessons of San Fransisco. Cover: Photo by Chuck Nacke- Picture Group.

TOP STORIES:
THE LESSONS OF THE BAY QUAKE: It wasn't the Big One, and it wasn't 1906-but when the earth stopped shaking last week at least 55 people were dead and hundreds of others were missing or injured in the San Francisco Bay Area. There were scenes of ghastly carnage and tales of remarkable heroism. In the aftermath, Californians pondered the uncertainties of living along the mighty San Andreas Fault-and examined their handling of this disaster for lessons that could help next time. Special Report. Photo: A shattered apartment building in San Francisco's Marina District.

Last week Erich Honecker, 77, a stubborn conservative, was finally deposed as the leader of East Germany.

The turbulence isn't a fluke, argues NEWSWEEK'S economics columnist Robert J. Samuelson. It reflects the lesson of the '80s: competition has rough side effects, but it works. Business.
