COVER: Can you afford to get sick? The Battle over Health Benefits. BuSH reaches out. A Family style Inauguration. Cover: Illustration by Richard McNeel.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
BUSH FINDS A VISION: George Bush compared the Inaugural setting to democracy's front porch, but it might just as well have been the chapel at Andover a half century ago when Bush went to prep school. The new president invoked the patrician values of "duty, sac- rifice, commitment and a patriotism that finds its expression in taking part and pitching in." The question is whether this vision, drawn from Bush's past, will be enough to sustain the nation in the complicated present. National Affairs: Page 22.

SILVER LINING: Time was when serious collectors snubbed American Victorian silver and silverplate. But not Sam Wagstaff. By the time he died two years ago, he had assembled a major, if wacky, 600-piece collection. Last week photographer Robert Mapplethorpe auctioned off the lot for almost a million dollars. The Arts: Page 62.

THE BENEFITS BATTLE: Call it the fourth inalienable right. Along with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, working Americans have come to expect that an honest job will come with full medical insurance. Now soaring medical costs threaten to change that. The crunch has turned the issue of health-care benefits into a battleground. To contain costs, companies are hiking employee premiums, hiring "health management" consultants to second-guess doctors and putting employees into HMO's, PPO's and other managed-care plans. If the trend continues, some experts say, companies simply will no longer be able to provide Americans with adequate care. Business: Page 44.

RETURN TO THE KILLING FIELDS? Ten years after Vietnamese troops drove Pol Pot from power, the madman's cadres are still fighting the Hanoi-backed Phnoin Penh regime in remote Cambodian villages. This silent, largely unreported war may be where the country's future is forged. Now the Vietnamese are withdrawing their forces, heightening fears about the new Cambodia-who will control the country and the Khmer Rouge after they are gone. International: Page 38.
