COVER STORY: New Enemies for Old? -- Saddam Hussein's Blitzkrieg into Kuwait confirms that war is always with us. William R. Hawkins suggests we think again about the peace dividend ... Brian Crozier reviews the perestroika'd Red Army, which faces dissension within the ranks, and competition.

ARTICLES:
On the Scene -- William McGurn examines how the crisis in Iraq is beckoning back the energy policy of the Carter Administration. . . . With the naming of the new Archbishop of Canterbury, William Oddie looks forward to an Anglican Church that's more, well, Christian. . . . Victor Mallet, who arrived in Kuwait the day before Iraq invaded, reports on occupied Kuwait and the popular resistance.

Let's Talk Turkey -- Saddam Hussein says the borders of Arabia, laid down by Western colonialists, must be redrawn. J. B. Kelly agrees.

A Run for Our Money -- Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the current account, Robert Stowe England reports that the banks may soon follow the S&Ls into insolvency.

Republican Party: Holding Its Own? -- Have congressional Republicans finally hit bot- tom? They thought so. Richard Brookhiser re- ports the November elections may prove them wrong.

Is Europe on the Road to Serfdom? -- The State Department thinks a United Europe would be another U.S.A. Tim Congdon doubts that Alexander Hamilton would agree.

Gay Rights or Closet Virtues? -- The Left claims homosexuals as natural allies -- but politics doesn't make bedfellows quite as strange as that, says Thomas Short. They would be more comfortable with Tory tolerance.

BOOKS, ARTS & MANNERS: William Thcker assays Rael Jean Isaac and Virginia Armat's Madness in the Streets and Ann Braden Johnson's Out of Bedlam, which tell, with varying degrees of honesty, a very disturbing tale: how liberal theories of oppression led to the abandonment of attempts to treat mental illness. ... Joe Mysak reflects on Marilyn Thompson's Feeding the Beast and James Traub's Too Good to Be True and hopes that these disappointing accounts of the Wedtech scandal will help straighten out confused notions of racism. . . . In Randall Jarrell: A Literary Life William Pritchard tries valiantly to rescue Jarrell's poetic reputation. Jeffrey Hart thinks his prose is more worth recollecting. ... Get your tents ready -- oops, even that's too high-tech: Bruce Frohnen regards with horror Green Rage, the environmentalist manifesto. ... Eva Resnikova examines the hypocrisy and racism that fueled the spat over Miss Saigon. John Simon is dismayed by The Freshman's contrived plot, Harrison Ford's single, all- purpose facial expression in Presumed Innocent, and The Two Jakes's confusing, opacity.
