TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER STORY: INNOVATION GAP: Is America losing its edge in innovation? Exact measures are difficult, but certain trends have alarmed scientists and politicians. U.S. spending on basic research has fallen off, foreign competition is gaining in world technology markets and American productivity growth is low. But U.S. science is still strong. Venture capital--long absent from Wall Street--is staging a comeback. And some work in R&D labs may prove to be revolutionary. Page 58. Cover: Illustration by Gil Eisner. (After Rube Goldberg).

NIGHT OF GAY RAGE: Angry homosexuals stormed the San Francisco city hail, looted stores and set police cars ablaze in a night of rage last week that left more than 100 people hurt and caused an estimated $1 million in damages. The gays were protesting the surprisingly lenient verdict reached at the trial of an ex-cop for the slayings last year of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, an avowed homosexual. Page 30.

THE NIGHT FRONTIER: There's a new frontier, but it exists in time--not space. In a prize-winning essay, a sociologist argues that Americans are colonizing the night just as the pioneers settled the Old West. All-night markets, movies, bars and bookstores are the Tombstones and Dodge Citys of today. Page 9.

THE ACES OF POKER: They brag and tell tall tales like country bumpkins, but their minds work with computerlike intensity. They look like gamblers, but they are really The best poker players in the country gathered last week in K Las Vegas and Pete Axthelm, who has turned a hand himself, tells why they don't die broke. Page 52.

CANADA 'S NEW FACE: Permitting himself a rare sip of champagne, Conservative Joe Clark (left) celebrated his election last week as Canada's youngest Prime Minister. While lacking personal sparkle, the prairie politician overcame the flamboyant Pierre Elliott Trudeau, whose Liberal Party has ruled in Ottawa for eleven years.

Clark's minority government faces prickly is- sues, particularly the separatist drive in French.speaking Quebec.

PEEKABOO: A crisp step, a gentle breeze and all eyes this spring are on all those skirts slit up-to-there. Slit skirts aren't new, but their slashes are soaring to unprecedented heights-- and so are their sales. American designers began showing the look last year, but the philosophy behind the sudden exposure is basically the old peekaboo. Although the skirts don't suit everyone's taste--or body--most women seem to relish the sexy, lean- and-leggy style. And men are finding the slit skirts a form of instant gratification. As one man in Los Angeles put it, "The higher, the better." Page 88.
