COVER: Star Warriors. The People behind the weapons of the Future. Cover: Photo by John Ficara- NEWSWEEK.
TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
CAN THE STAR WARRIORS SUCCEED?: With Ronald Reagan's blessings and a multibillion-dollar budget, the best weapons scientists in the land have set out to build the ultimate defense against a nuclear attack. But their dreams already test the limits of science, and space-age weapons such as electromagnetic rail guns (above) may never get off the ground. Page 34.
NEAT BEAT STREET FEET: They're the chic sneaks for a new generation of aerobics addicts. Named after an antelope, Reebok's natural habitat has expanded beyond health clubs and now can be found anywhere the fashion- conscious graze. Page 79.
REDESIGNING GENERAL MOTORS: Since he took over as chairman of General Motors four years ago, plain-as-his-name Roger Smith (above) has stirred a revolution; just last week he spent $5 billion to buy Hughes Aircraft. In an equally bold move in 1984, he bought Electronic Data Systems-in effect buying its founder, the utterly unconventional H. Ross Perot. The Smith-Perot team has its sights set on nothing less than a redesign of the company. Page 64.
A MESSAGE FOR MANAGUA: Bristling over Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega's recent trip to Moscow, the Senate approved new non-military aid for the Nicaraguan con- tras-and the House seemed ready to follow suit. But poiis still showed that most Americans remain skeptical about President Reagan's support for the rebels, and administra- tion officials had to back away from hints that they would consider direct U.S. military involvement in Nicaragua if Congress did not support their policy. Page 46.
GOING TO A GO-GO: From the playgrounds and dance clubs of Washington comes a music sensation called go-go. With incessant drums, jamming lyrics and hot sax, the funky beat will get America back on its feet and dancing again. Page 77.
