COVER: The U. S. and Israel: Reeling the Strain. Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan.

U.S.-ISRAEL: STRAINS IN THE ALLIANCE: The negotiations stretched on or hours as President Carter and Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan pieced together an agree- to promote Mideast peace in Geneva and to relieve dangerous strain in American- Israeli relations. But numerous obstacles remained on the road to Geneva. Newsweek's Nicholas Proffitt and Scott Sullivan interviewed Dayan, and a separate story profiles the old war hero who is more popular in the United States than in his own country.

PAUL CEZANNE'S WORLD: He called himself a primitive in own method, but his vision anged the boundaries of the world: apples have never been the same since Paul Cezanne looked at them. A remarkable new exhibition illuminates his long struggle.

FILMS: After five years of delays and artistic hassles, Bernardo Bertolucci's "1900" has finally appeared. The fflm is a true epic, says critic Jack Kroll, and one with epic faults. In Ken Russell's "Valentino," Rudolph Nureyev is a stunning presence as the matinee idol. The film: uneven. It was not quite the promised banner year at the New York Film Festival, but at least the mix was interesting. The critic's choice: "The Lacemaker," "Short Eyes.".

ROSTROPOVICH CONDUCTS: The National Symphony Orchestra was in sore need of a messiah, and last week it found one: the world's greatest cellist, Mstislav Rostropovich, proved that his magic extends to the podium. A bear of a man with eloquent body language, he lifted the orchestra to a magnificent performance--and Hubert Saal thinks he could now lead it into the first rank.

PHONE SPIELS: Peddling by telephone has been around since the hand crank, but now it's a $6 billion annual industry--and with the development of automatic di- aling machines using taped spiels, it threatens to drive everybody ringy-dingy. Will Congress or the FCC step in?.
