The American and Soviet presidents met to sign the SALT II treaty, and major progress on other world issues was likely to be limited by Brezhnev's poor health. But although the U.S.S.R. has many internal problems of its own, the meeting capped the Soviet Union's rise to the status of a military superpower equal to the United States. Page 26.

She referred, of course, to John Wayne, the big, gruff, seemingly indestructible star who in more than 200 movies rarely knew defeat. But last week, the Duke finally lost his long battle with cancer. For millions of fans who grew up on such classics as "Red River" and "The Quiet Man," his death seemed to seal an era in which Hollywood built superheroes to last forever. Page 76. MANAGUA UNDER SIEGE: Three weeks after launching their "final offensive" in Nicaragua, leftist rebels of the Sandinista National Liberation Front brought the war to Managua, the capital. Machine-gun fire echoed through the city, and gunmen, looters and the homeless roamed the streets. The U.S., its Nicaraguan policy a shambles, evacuated hundreds of Americans and prepared a new peace offensive. But President Anastasio Somoza Debayle dismissed the rebels as Communists and vowed to keep fighting. Page 49. SORCERER: He cast his spell on the plainest things--a basket of strawberries, a family saying grace. The great French painter Jean Simeon Chardin was called the "genius of the home." His masterly evocations of the eighteenth-century bourgeoisie's homespun virtues can now be seen in all their glory in a rare--and rich--retrospective exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Page 101. THE FLIGHT OF THE ALMA TROSS: The waters churned and the head winds blew, but the delicate craft flitted like a great dragonfly across the English Channel. After nearly three hours, the Gossamer Albatross--pedaled by a skinny, 137-pound pilot--thumped onto the French coast. More than 300 welcomers popped champagne corks and cheered the first man-powered airplane to fly across the channel. Page 97. NEWSWEEK LISTINGS: NATIONAL AFFAIRS: The SALT summit (the cover).
