TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
RONALD REAGAN UP CLOSE:
What is Ronald Reagan really like? What does he stand for behind his movie-star charm and conservative verities? Are there clues to the shape of a possible Reagan Presidency in his past and in the personality masked behind his aw-shucks grin? Reagan has been a public man for nearly half a century, as a broadcaster, a movie actor, a TV personality, a two-term governor of the nation's largest state and a three-time seeker after the Presidency. And yet, at the very hour of his coronation this week as the Republican nominee, he remains only hazily known to millions of his countrymen. At a time when character has become a critical question in Presidential politics, Reagan remains freeze-framed in his warring cartoon images as patriot or cowboy, plainspoken or simplistic, right-minded or merely right wing.

To discover Reagan the man and the claimant to the Presidency, NEWSWEEK mounted a reporting and writing effort on a scale pioneered by the magazine in its extended special reports on such subjects as space, Vietnam and black America in the 1960s--and on the character of a stranger named Jimmy Carter in 1976. More than a dozen correspondents worked on the project over a period of two months. Frank Maier traced Rea-gan's roots to his Main Street boyhood in Illinois. Gerald C. Lubenow and Martin Kasindorf, both veteran Reagan watchers, assessed his character and recreated his California years from his first screen test at Warner's in 1937 to the eve of his nomination in 1980. Chief political correspondent James Doyle helped chronicle his Presidential campaigns. Dozens of sources were interviewed by Janet Huck, Jeff B. Copeland, Jonathan Kirsch, Holly Morris, Gloria Borger, Jacob Young and others.

The resulting 22-page, 20,000-word special report on Reagan up close--his character and his record, as well as his Presidential potential--was written by Senior Editor Peter Goldman with their reporting and a small library of Reagan literature. Photo Editor Guy Cooper led an equally exhaustive picture search. He was assisted by Charlene Pinckney-Goldberg and Barbara Burke. The editorial package was designed by Thomas R. Lunde, Director of Design. Page 24.

IRAN FREES A U.S. HOSTAGE: The young consular officer, his face pale and his hair unkempt, left the plane in Zurich on a stretcher--a bit bewildered by his first taste of freedom. After 250 days as a hostage in Teheran, Richard Queen, 28, was suddenly and unexpectedly freed. The Carter Administration was as surprised as everybody else when Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini decreed that Queen be released for medical treatment. The President welcomed the apparent humanitarian gesture. But as Iran struggled with its escalating internal problems, freedom for the remaining 52 American hostages still appeared to be a long way off. Page 62.

THE CIA'S SPY IN THE KREMLIN: The story was a tangled tale of espionage and counterespio-nage--and a master spy code-named "TRIANON." NEWSWEEK learned that during the early 1970s the CIA managed to plant Trianon in the Soviet Foreign Ministry. For years the agent supplied a steady and accurate flow of diplomatic secrets to Washington. Then Trianon's reports began to smack of misinformation, tarring former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin and Jimmy Carter's first round of SALT negotiations. The CIA saw the KGB at work. Trianon went silent--possibly a suicide. Page 69.
