COVER: The Catholics. A Church in Crisis. Pope John Paul II. Cover: Photo by Guiliani.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
A CHURCH IN CRISIS: Twenty years after Vatican II, the leaders of Roman Catholicism began meeting last week to assess the fruits of that peaceful revolution. Fissures in the church are now in the open. Some traditionalists view the reforms as "unfavorable for the church" and reject demands from maverick theologians for new action. But progressives see change as inevitable and healthy, for the church continues to evolve: almost half its members now live in the Southern Hemisphere. Some theologians believe that not since the time of the Apostle Paul has Christianity faced such a far-reaching cultural shift. Can a church with many faces still be one? Religion: Page 66.

SPY EPIDEMIC: It was the biggest week yet in an embarrassing "year of the spy"-four arrests in three separate cases in just a matter of days. Charges that U.S. Navy analyst Jonathan Pollard sold secrets to Israel strained Washington's relations with an old ally. National Affairs: Page 24.

THE ETHICS OF TAKEOVERS: Takeover tactics, even though they may live up to the letter of the law, have turned so nasty that even some of the game's toughest players deplore them. But few lawyers and corporate kingpins have stopped using such ploys as the "poison pill" and the "golden parachute": if they did, the deal or financial package might not go their way. There are signs, however, that the ethics are changing, as courts, stockholders and even public opinion force tighter standards on the business. Business: Page 46.

STRIKING BACK: Egyptian troops stormed a hijacked airliner on Malta after five hostages were shot. The rescue attempt killed another 57 people and raised troubling questions about President Hosni Mubarak's decision to intervene. International: Page 36.

FANTASY LAND: This season's best kiddie books include a mysterious story about a train out of nowhere, beautifully illustrated by writer-draftsman Chris Van Allsburg, plus the usual assortment of stories starring pigs, bears and alligators like Jerome the Babysitter. The Arts: Page 86.
