COVER: THE ANDREW YOUNG AFFAIR. Cover Photo by Wally McNamee.

THE YOUNG AFFAIR: After 31 controversial months, Andrew Young handed Jimmy Carter his resignation as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations--the last scene in a drama that Young began by meeting secretly with a man from the Palestine Liberation Organization and then deceiving his own State Department colleagues about what he had done. NEWSWEEK'S cover report chronicles Young's last scrape and its impact on strained U.S-Israeli relations; profiles his bumpy tour of duty in the United Nations and assesses the angry black reaction to his departure.

THE BOLSHOI: On the twentieth anniversary of its historic first visit to America, Russia's BOLSHOI BALLET is touring the U.S. with full-length ballets by its L controversial artistic director, Yuri Grigorovich, that are long on dance, short on ideas and filled with some of the greatest young dancers in the world.

DISASTER AT SEA: A savage gale swept through the prestigious Fastnet yacht race in the seas between southern England and Ireland last week. The storm left at least eighteen sailors dead and perhaps 30 yachts lost or abandoned. It also raised squalls of controversy over safety procedures. In his column, Pete Axthelm (page 46) focuses on the brash winner of the race, American TED TURNER.

FLEEING LAOS: In the 1960s, they fought a secret war for the CIA. Now the members of the Hmong tribe are in desperate flight from their homeland in Laos. Thousands of them have died trying to escape, and thousands more are suffering from severe malnutrition in squalid refugee camps in northern Thailand.

THOROUGHBREDS: "A champion doesn't give up, he gets up," said LOU BROCK (below) after his disastrous 1978 season. True to his word, the 40-year-old St. Louis Cardinal is hitting and running again as if he were 25. Last week, he capped his eighteenth--and last--season by becoming the fourteenth man ever to get 3,000 hits. And up in Boston, Red Sox fans should not have much longer to wait to see twelve-year veteran Carl Yastrzemski match Brock's achievement.
