COVER: STRIKING BACK (Terrorism): What Ronald Regan might do. Cover: Photo by Sipa--Special Features.
TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
A WAR ON TERRORISM? From the day he took office, Ronald Reagan has vowed to strike back at terrorists. Last week the hostage ordeal in Beirut and the apparent bombing of an Air-India jetliner put him under strong pressure to make good on his threat. To put pressure on Amal leader Nabih Bern (right, with freed hostage Jimmy Palmer), the administration considered closing the Beirut airport and blockading Lebanon. The White House also began to plan for a possible military retaliation, including the bombing of terrorist camps in Lebanon, Syria and Iran. And at the president's direction, U.S. planners drew up a list of more than 100 potential targets for a war against terrorists all over the world. Page 16.
DEBT BUILT ON A HOUSE OF CARDS: Americans will charge a staggering $331 billion on their credit cards this year--a lifestyle support system that is helping to push consumer debt to a historic high. Now a slew of banks and companies like Sears, Roebuck are competing to extend credit where it is-- and isn't--due. Page 52.
FOREST PRIMEVAL: Director JOHN BOORMAN's enchanting new movie, "The Emerald Forest," starring his 18-year-old son, Charley (left), as a white child who is kidnapped by an Amazonian tribe, is many things at once: a feverish jungle adventure story, an ecological fable about the destruction of the world's rain forests, and a hypnotic, visionary quest for harmony between man and nature. Page 74.
GORBACHEV CHANGES SOME MOSCOW RULES: With tough speeches and a popular, I'm-listening-to-you style that rivals Ronald Reagan's, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is rapidly consoli dating his power. He has exhorted traditionally lethargic Soviet workers to wake up and revitalize a stagnating economy. And he is now shaking up the party, stacking the leadership with his loyalists before next year's party congress votes on his program. Page 46.
