COVER: NANCY REAGAN's 'My Turn'. Exclusive book excerpt. On Astrology. On Don Regan. On Raisa. On her Kids. Wall Street's Nosedive: Will History Repeat Itself? Cover: Photo by Harry Benson.

'MY TURN,' BY NANCY REAGAN: For eight years as First Lady, Nancy Reagan lived under the media microscope, often the center of controversy and criticism, never fully venting her own views. Now she does, in a book titled "My Turn," excerpted exclusively in NEWSWEEK this week. Mrs. Reagan writes of her astrology "habit," her advice to the president and the effort to oust White House chief of staff Donald Regan. She has tart words for many top Reagan aides and others, including Raisa Gorbachev. But, she tells NEWSWEEK, "I really tried not to be vindictive or mean." Special Report.

THE NOSEDIVE OF '89: Two years after Black Monday, the stock market had roared back and was racking up new highs. Then, in one chilling hour last Friday, Wall Street was reminded of the volatility that triggered the crash. Fueled by jitters over takeover debt, the Dow plunged 190.58 points, its second biggest loss ever. NEWSWEEK examines the forces playing havoc with both stocks and the dollar and offers advice from Jane Bryant Quinn about how to keep your money safe. Business.

POSTMORTEM DEPRESSION: The legacy of PANAMA's bloodiest day continued to preoccupy Washington last week. Why did the Oct. 3 coup attempt against Gen. Manuel Antonio Noriega fail? Why was the U.S. government so slow to respond? Critics suggested the government has developed an aversion to action that will hamper it the next time fast decisions must be made. National Affairs.
