COVER: BREZHNEV's Final Days. The Succession struggle. Communism in Crisis. Cover: Sculpture by Eliot Goldfinger. Photo by George Hausman.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
THE NEW VD: Twenty million Americans now suffer from genital herpes, a virus infection that has become the major venereal disease of the '80s. Although the disease is occasionally life-threatening, its most serious impact may be psychological.

REAGAN VS. THE FREEZE: Ronald Reagan is trying to defuse the grass-roots movement for a freeze on atomic weapons. But his contention last week that the Soviet Union now enjoys nuclear superiority stirred a new debate. And the freeze movement itself, fueled by a spate of new books, is gaining momentum.

PAYING FOR COLLEGE: To many parents of college students, tuition costs seem to have soared out of sight. In fact, adjusted for inflation, college costs did not rise at all during the '70s--but in the past two years they have outstripped inflation, and show every sign of climbing higher.

BREZHNEV'S FINAL DAYS: For months he has looked ill and distracted--and last week there were signs that Leonid Brezhnev's eighteen-year reign over the Soviet Union might be drawing to an end. Brezhnev vanished from sight, and there were reports that he was gravely ill--perhaps with a stroke. Byzantine maneuvering to succeed the Soviet leader was already under way within the Politburo. NEWSWEEK examines Brezh-nev's illness, profiles his possible successors, analyzes the consequences for the West and presents an anatomy of the growing economic crisis his heirs will face.

TV NEWS WAR: Haunted by the memory of Huntley and Brinkley's success, NBC's new anchor team of Roger Mudd and Tom Brokaw takes to the airwaves this week. Their debut is the latest air strike in the most furious network-news war in television history.

DE CHIRICO'S MAGIC: To open the first galleries of its expanded quarters in New York City, the Museum of Modern Art has mounted a superb show of one of modernism's greatest innovators--the "metaphysical" Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico.
