COVER: Solid Goldie. Comedienne GOLDIE HAWN. Cover: Photo by Steve Schapiro.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
SOUTH OF THE BORDER: In what aides described as a "hemispheric gesture of goodwill," Ronald Reagan was to meet with Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo in Ciudad Juarez early this week to confront issues ranging from fishing agreements just scrapped by Mexico to policy on the spread of radicalism in Central America. Page 36.

THE GREAT GOLDIE RUSH: For years she's been Hollywood's Adorable Dingbat, the bubblehead in the bikini. Now, with two current movie hits, Goldie Hawn is not only America's most popular comic actress but a new power in the movie industry. As executive producer of "Private Benjamin," she demonstrated that behind the famous giggle is a brainy woman of great drive. And, as NEWSWEEK'S David Ansen found, she is also a master juggler of her professional and private lives, determined to grow as an artist, exert some influence in Hollywood and still remain the nice Jewish girl who just wanted to raise a family and be happy all the time. Page 52.

THE WISDOM OF BABIES: By studying the mental behavior of babies, pediatricians like Dr. T. Berry Brazelton (left) are learning about the mechanisms of the human mind. They are also discovering that infants are enormously complex-and far more intellectually acute at an earlier age than anyone previously imagined. Page 71.

THE BOWL WINNERS: In the holiday hoopla of bowl games, a half dozen teams ended up with virtually equal credentials. But the national championship finally went to Georgia, which beat Notre Dame with a little luck and the explosive running of Herschel Walker (right). Page 84.

CARTER'S LAST STAND: As the U.S. hostages endured their second New Year's Day in Iran, Jimmy Carter offered a last-ditch, $5.5 billion down payment for their freedom. The amount fell far short of the $24 billion demanded by Iran, but the President said it was the most Iran could expect before Jan. 20-when Ronald Reagan takes charge. Page 22.
