COVER: TALKING AGAIN. Arms control at the Crossroads. The Fallout on Campaign '84. BEIRUT: Can the U. S. Protect itself? Cover: Photo by Regis Bossu.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
SUPERPOWERS: TALKING AGAIN: After years of long-distance squinting at Soviet leaders, Ronald Reagan will find himself face to face with one of them this week. His guest, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, is the most powerful Soviet diplomat in decades. Arms control will be the most pressing issue between them. The current deadlock over the issue has become more urgent than ever as technology has hurtled forward, creating weapons that may soon be impossible to control.

CAN THE U.S. PROTECT ITSELF?: With the horror of a recurring nightmare, another suicide terrorist exploded a car bomb at the U.S. Embassy annex in East Beirut. This time, 12 were found dead, including two American servicemen. But the attack raised troubling questions about security at the annex-and revived LEBANON as a political problem for Ronald Reagan.

PRIMITIVE MEETS THE MODERN: Modern artists have again and again sought inspiration in the timeless, magical power of African and Oceanic art. The influence on 20th-century masterworks of tribal sculptures and masks, such as those of the Alaskan Eskimos (right), is the theme of a major new exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

THE NEW YUPPIE COMICS: At long last Doonesbury is back. But as Garry Trudeau's characters grow older, they may find themselves with a case of comic-strip claustrophobia. Today's funnies are crammed with sophisticated, "relevant" quips. Will Zonker fit in?.

NEW MOUNTAIN MEN: A new breed of climber is attacking the stark granite faces of Yosemite and other mountains. These "hard-men," fighting fear and exhaustion, ascend without ropes or hardware in a quest for climbing purity.
