The Ethics of Life and Death Decisions. Cover: Illustration by Kinuko Craft. TOP OF THE WEEK: WHEN DOCTORS PLAY GOD: Doctors once could swear to the Hippocratic oath with clear consciences: their sole duty was to save patients' lives. Now they have the drugs and the machinery to prolong lives they know might not be worth living. But who should decide when to stop treatment? Doctors? Patients? Families? Judges? Modern medicine is troubled by these and other quandaries of what it calls "bioethics"--and there unfortunately are no easy answers. TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI: After months of sparring, the United States took its challenge to Muammar Kaddafi into the Libyan leader's neighborhood. Ignoring Libya's territorial claim to the Gulf of Sidra, U.S. warships from the Sixth Fleet steamed in for naval exercises. When two Soviet-built Libyan fighter-bombers maneuvered for a fight and fired a missile, two F-14 Tomcats (above) blew them out of the sky. The showdown served as a message to the world, Reagan said, that "America has the muscle to back up its word.". THE CLEANSING SEAS: It wasn't long ago that people were talking about the world's oceans being poisoned by pollution. Recent studies by marine biologists suggest, however, that the seas around us and their creatures have ingenious ways of purging themselves of man's effluents. The danger from wanton humans is by no means over, but it may be receding. GOING ABSTRACT: What made modern painters turn from realism to abstraction? The answer often has more to do with personality than with art, and it is illuminated by current shows of two great modernists, Mondrian and Kandinsky. (At left, an early Mondrian.). THE MONEY CRUNCH: Interest rates are at their highest levels since the Great Depression, and everyone from auto dealers (right) to Uncle Sam is feeling the pain. Even Ronald Reagan's strongest supporters worry that high interest could throw the economy into recession. [FULL NEWSWEEK LISTINGS]: NATIONAL AFFAIRS:.
