Cover: Illustration by Bill Nelson.
TOP OF THE WEEK:
THE CABLE-TV REVOLUTION: Cable television is booming. Now in 21 million U.S. homes, it is spawning a corporate gold rush, changing viewing habits, worrying the TV-network establishment and promising a brave new world of the home-information system that will enable the viewer to shop, bank and vote with his television set. In the scramble for big-city franchises, cable companies are offering systems with scores of channels. Senior writer Harry Waters analyzes the swiftly moving cable-television scene and its myriad implications and, in a separate piece, examines one of its thriving by-products: soft-core porn on the home tube.
REAGAN SHIFTS SIGHTS: Fresh from signing the biggest tax cut in history, Ronald Reagan now turns to defense and foreign policy. Coming down from his mountaintop this week, the President will convene his National Security Council to decide on a bundle of arms pro-grams--and on how to push ahead the peace process in the Middle East.
EURO-PACIFISTS: Europe's anti-nuclear forces took to the streets again last week to protest U.S. production of neutron warheads. But American strategists worried about a deeper pacifist trend in the Western alliance--some-thing approaching a silent majority against the bomb.
DEBBIE'S NEW MASK: On leave from Blondie, her band, Debbie Harry--who sings like a mannequin looks--sports darker tresses on her first solo album, "KooKoo." NEWSWEEK'S Jim Miller reviews the album, the new image and the continuing phenomenon of rock's glamour girl.
THE SECOND SEASON: Baseball is back--but in a split-season format that leaves winners without thrills and losers with false hopes. And this year's strike-born idea may become the ground rule of the future. Pete Rose (right) will never let down, but columnist Pete Axthelm speculates that the owners will look only for the dollar.
