COVER: The Merger Wars. Is big business getting too big? Cover: Illustration by Robert Grossman.

TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
THE GREAT MERGER WARS: The struggle for oil-rich Conoco, Inc., escalated into an unprecedented bidding war among three corporate titans--Du Pont, Mobil and Seagram. Whoever wins, the takeover will be the biggest in history--and the first test of Ronald Reagan's antitrust policy. Many experts fear that other wealthy corporations may soon make a grab for vulnerable victims, resulting in an increasing--and perhaps dangerous-- concentration of Big Business. Page 50.

REAGAN AT THE SUMMIT: In Ottawa, Ronald Reagan took on his first major role as chief spokesman of U.S. foreign policy. The President joined the leaders of the world's six other major industrial democracies at a summit conference, hosted this year by Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau (above, during a White House visit this month). Every prospect was for an outward show of harmony--but the Western Alliance is undeniably suffering from a "mid-life crisis." Page 14.

POLAND TRIES DEMOCRACY: It was billed as an "extraordinary" congress of Poland's Communist Party--and that it was. At a gathering that sometimes resembled aU.S.-style political convention, Communist delegates flexed their new democratic powers and forced leaders Wojciech Jaruzelski and Stanislaw Kania (right) to wait for the will of the majority. Page 32.

THE FACES OF WAR: Using the simplest, most direct camera techniques, British photographer DONALD MCCULLIN risked his life and sanity in order to shoot extraordinary close-ups of war and its aftermath in places like Vietnam and Biafra during the '60s and '70s. Now, many of his unforgettable pictures have been brought together in a harrowing book. Page 72.

'SNAKESCAM' STING: Illegal sales of protected species of American animals and birds are booming. Thousands of creatures, particularly reptiles like the Trans-Pecos copperhead (right), are poached for profit each year. Last week the U.S. Government staged a surprise "sting," arresting dozens of suspects and seizing more than 1,000 animals. Page 64.
