THE SUPERSTATE: After decades of insecure braggadocio, tall tales and youthful excesses, that state of the Union and state of mind called Texas has turned into an economic superstate and a cultural corner. As focus of the Sun Belt, Texas has reaped an influx of people and industry not seen since California's golden boom in the two decades after Woiid War II. There are problems of unrestrained growth and poverty amidst the plenty, but most Texans are having a good old time. Newsweek's Houston bureau chief, Nicholas Proffltt, reported and wrote the cover story (page 36), photographer Wally McNamee provided the color portrait of a state and its people and reporter Lea Donosky tells how she had to leave home before she could appreciate it. (Cover photo by Wally McNamee -- Newsweek.). SADAT AND HUSSEIN SPEAK OUT: Many Arabs were angry, the Egyptians were jubilant and the rest of the world was scrambling to catch up with Anwar Sadat's extraordinary diplomacy. In exclusive interviews with Newsweek, Jordan's King Hussein said Sadat "gambled the Arabs' last card," while Sadat insisted: "This is a historical moment; I am not going to lose it.". GIFT BOOKS: Books for the Christmas gift list seem more lavish (and expensive) than ever. Critic Peter Prescott offers his pick of the crop, from a rare view of the Hermitage's French impressionist collection to an illustrated essay on the birds called rails to a sampling of pinups painted on warplanes. TOT COUTURE: "There's no reason to put my kid into something schlumpy," says a Los Angeles matron. OK--but a $300 blazer for a 7-year-old? Designer clothes have reached the Ovaltine set. LABOR'S WOES: When George Meany gavels in the AFL-CIO convention this week, the meeting will look like business as usual. But labor is in trouble, with falling membership and declining clout.
