COVER: Drawing the Line: The Gulf Crisis: Special Report. Cover: Photo by Frederick Sutter.

SPECIAL REPORT: SHOWDOWN IN THE GULF: DRAWING THE LINE -- In what may become the defining event of his presidency, George Bush began the largest mobilization of U.S. troops since the Vietnam War to stand up to Iraq's Saddam Hussein. For starters, at least, Bush appeared to have the upper hand. Most of the world rallied around a United Nations trade embargo on Iraq, and the United States received support from the Soviet Union and members of the Arab League. But Bush's crusade against Saddam is fraught with risk. While American soldiers in the gulf faced the threat of chemical warfare, Americans at home braced for the possibility of an extended hostage crisis. Special Report: Page 18.

A LOOK BACK AT THEIR FINEST HOUR: Fifty years ago democratic Europe was down to its last line of defense: the gallant pilots of the Royal Air Force. In the Battle of Britain, they thwarted the Nazi Luftwaffe and an invasion of England. Society: Page 50.
