COVER STORY: The Siege of Yonkers Yonkers, N.Y., is being punished for crimes only an unreconstructed liberal can see. Lorrin Anderson reports on the city's fight against tyrannical social engineering and imperialist progress. Cover photo by Leonard Freed/Magnum Photo.

ARTICLES:
On the Scene: The battle over negotiating a free-trade pact with Mexico is truly bipartisan, William McGurn notes, which means George Bush is in his element. . . . Five years later, Chernobyl remains a disaster, and Leonard Reiffel warns that the Soviets are letting it return to crisis levels. . . . Where he is not defined by supporting or opposing Mrs. Thatcher's policies, John Major is adrift, reports Anthony Lejeune.

Will Saddam Get the Bomb? Adam Garfinkle warns that our current policies may not stop the vengeful Iraqi dictator from saying it with nukes. . . . Humphrey Taylor points out what George Bush has forgotten about polls: the key to success is giving the people not the policies they want, but the results.

The End of the NEA: Jacob Neusner gives the inside story on the tawdry affair between the National Endowment for the Arts and obscenity. The chief procurer: NEA head John Frohnmayer.

Conservative Questions: David Horowitz presents the orphaned liberal virtues conservatives must adopt to govern an intrinsically pluralist nation.

Closing Time for the UN? The largest problem with the UN is that it gives membership--votes and legitimacy--to nations that don't accept its civilized goals. Brian Crozier proposes a modest alternative.

BOOKS, ARTS & MANNERS In Order & Law: Arguing the Reagan Revolu-tion--A Firsthand Account, Charles Fried tries to show Left, Right, and Center that he did a good job as President Reagan's solicitor general; but Frederick D. Nelson smells ambition. In his memoir Nothing to Declare, Taki captures prison life and shows G. Gordon Liddy that he's learned from his mistakes without losing his charm. . . . Taki himself gossips about the prisons that were too high-class for him. While Alan Judd does a good job of capturing his subject in the novelistic biography Ford Madox Ford, Chilton Williamson Jr. gives his own tribute to the literary figure who captured the best of the Victorian and modern periods. James Gardner ponders the aesthetics of Sad-dam Hussein and those of his culture, and hopes the one doesn't blot out the other. . . . Ralph de Toledano considers the outpouring for the Mozart bicentennial and asks, Where is Haydn? John Simon attempts to rescue Bruce Ber-esford's overlooked Mister Johnson from, and to consign the absurdly pretentious Impromptu to, oblivion.
