TOP OF THE WEEK: CHANGING TIMES: Just as the gasoline shortage was changing American life-styles, along came a truckers' strike to make things worse. In the ensuing violence -- a reaction against the soaring prices and falling supplies of diesel fuel -- three men have been shot and killed and several wounded. With files from Tom Joyce in Washington and others, General Editor Tom Nicholson examines the new kind of hazard on the highways and details how the gas shortage is putting a crimp in America's mobile way of life. General Editor David Pauly looks at the gasoline-rationing plans (page 22) that are proliferating as America tries to cope. ARAB POWER: Like a desert storm, a new sense of pride and power has swept through the Arab world. With files from Nicholas C. Proffitt (above), Arnaud de Borchgrave and Barry Came, Richard Steele describes the Arab awakening and Tom Mathews examines Islam's impact. (Cover photo of a member of Jordan's Desert Patrol by Charles Harbutt -- Magnum.) MASTERPIECES: John D. Rockefeller 3rd has given his great Oriental art collection to the Asia Society and plans are afoot for a new museum in New York. As this Londoner reading his paper outside Parliament was painfully aware, Britain was enmeshed in its gravest crisis since World War II. The coal miners had called a strike, and Prime Minister Heath called a snap election. The campaign is certain to be bitterly fought and profoundly divisive. From files by London bureau chief Peter Webb, General Editor Raymond Carroll examines Britain's woes. GOING METRIC: Within the next year or two, the U.S. will begin converting to the metric system.
