COVER: Queen for our day. ELIZABETH II, and Her Jubilee.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER STORY: A QUEEN FOR OUR DAY: Not much has gone right for Britain in recent years, but this week the country takes time out for a mammoth celebration -- the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. After 25 years on the throne, Elizabeth has become a Queen for her day -- a source of pride and unity at a time of national decline. Supplementing the cover sto- ry, George F. Will (page 104) discusses the usefulness of pomp and circumstance. (Cover photo by Peter Grugeon -- Camera Press.)

THE RABBIT BALL: In the National League, home- run production is up 44 per cent, in the American, 50 per cent. The obvious explanation: the ball has been juiced up. Newsweek tots up the statistics left by today's ball and looks into why it is livelier.

COPPOLA'S 'APOCALYPSE': For more than a year, in the Philippines, Francis Ford Coppola has been making his own Vietnam -- an enormous, accident-prone movie called "Apocalypse Now." Maureen Orth (above, with Coppola) reports from the scene.

OPENING THE PIPELINE: First they send a "pig" through the pipe, and then comes the oil -- an awesome 9 mil- lion barrels of it just to fill the 798-mile-long trans-Alaska pipeline. After a decade of con- troversy, workmen finally finished the pipe- line with a "golden weld" last week. William J. Cook describes the intricate maneuvers that must be carried out to start the North Slope crude oil flowing later this month.

How is Rosalynn Carter doing as First Lady? She talked with News- week's Jane Whitmore, aboard for Rosalynn's diplomatic tour of Latin America (photo) -- while Jimmy offered a proud husband's view to White House correspondent Eleanor Clift.

THE HOLOCAUST: The death toll in the Beverly Hills Supper Club fire -- 161 people -- was lower than had been feared. But experts say the tragedy could easily have been prevented. Newsweek's Hal Bruno reports what happened and why.
