COVER: LOBBYISTS Swarming over Washington.

COVER: A growing army of sophisticated lobbyists reaches for power in Washington. Dealing with an hidependent Congress and a weakened presidency, the lobbyists are seizing the chance to kill or shape legislation. See NATION.

WORLD: A war of words in the Middle East. Syria's Assad faces a military quagmire. Moderates are the new murder victims in Rhodesia. Why are the Russians spying on Norway? Refugees of rhetoric: Viet Nam's Chinese.

MORMONISM: After a "revelation" banished its racist stand, the biggest of the made-in-America faiths --unique in doctrine and life-style--girds for a new era. But the Mormons face long-range difficulties. See RELIGION.

NATION: Carter's Turkey and Rhodesia policies survive a Senate test, but foreign aid is still in trouble.

Indictments are due in a U.S. agency's $166 million scandal. How Chicago's crime boss settled a score. No Florida welcome mat for the hundreds of refugees fleeing Haiti's poverty and repression.

ESSAY: Americans are volunteering more than ever to help others --and are benefiting themselves considerably in the process.

MUSIC: After a long absence from the studios, New Jersey's rock Wunderkind Bruce Springsteen returns with a strong album.

CINEMA: Interiors is Woody Allen's first effort at "se- rious" film making. Peter Sellers' fifth Pink Panther may be his friskiest.

PRESS: A New Jersey judge slaps heavy fines on the New York Times. A West German court says O.K. but, to girlie pictures.

ECONOMY & BUSINESS: The dollar is failing because of fading confidence in U.S. policies, and Europe may cause more trouble yet for the greenback.

BOOKS: Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard combines Zen and good writing. Max Perkins reveals an editor of genius.

MEDICINE: Louise Brown, the world's first test-tube baby, makes an early appearance in Britain. Sweet news for saccharin users.

ART: MOMA displays trends in photography: an emphasis on private concerns at the expense of the documentary tradition.

SPORT: A week of baseball at its best and worst: Pete Rose enriches the game, but Billy Martin's sad performance suffies it.

Letters. American Scene. People. Milestones.
