COVER: HOLLYWOOD'S SCARY SUMMER. SIGOURNEY WEAVER in 'ALIEN'.
TOP OF THE WEEK:
COVER STORY: HOLLYWOOD'S SCARY SUMMER: "Alien," a shocking outer-space horror movie, is the blockbuster hit of the summer--and it's just the tip of a reign of terror that is seizing the country. The horror movie has been a B-movie staple since the days of "Dracula," but it is now the prestige product of big-budget Hollywood. Movie critic David Ansen examines America's fixation on fright, and the reasons why the studios have gone back to basics. Checking out the current crop of chillers, and looking back to the classics of the past, he finds that the movie monsters of the screen reflect the changing nightmares of the national psyche. The emperor of the exploitation movie, American International Pictures' Samuel Arkoff, is profiled in an accompanying article. Page 54.

THE TRAVEL MESS: Just days before the start of the peak summer travel season, the U.S. transportation system was in semi-stall. The government grounded all U.S. DC-10s because of possible design flaws, taking 12 per cent of all airline seats out of service. That added to the troubles of would-be travelers, already plagued by gasoline shortages and overbooked trains, and plunged the $120 billion American tourist industry into uncertainty. NEWSWEEK explores the travel mess, examines the troubles of the DC- 10 and describes a half-fare-coupon war among airlines that could make the crunch even worse. Page 22.
OIL THREAT: In a wide-ranging interview with NEWSWEEK'S Senior Editor Arnaud de Borch- grave, Libyan strongman Muammar Kaddafi (above) talked of cutting off his country's substantial shipments of crude oil to America unless the U.S. permits him to buy jet planes he's contracted for. "Keep your technology, your problems and your evils," Kaddafi told de Borchgrave in their desert dialogue. "We'll just keep our oil." Page 38.
PAPAL TRIUMPH: With all the pomp and pageantry of the ancient days of Poland's kings, Pope John Paul II, a soldier's son from Wadowice, returned to his homeland for an emotional reunion. Again and again he stung his Communist hosts for their efforts to suppress Catholicism in Poland and throughout Eastern Europe, and his visit strengthened the church as never before. In his laughing, weeping and passionately Polish face, the people saw their own defiantly Catholic souls. Page 92.
SUPER SALE: Buyers and curiosity seekers flooded a New York auction house last week for the multimillion-dollar sale of the late Benjamin Sonnenberg's collection. They were drawn not only by art works such as sixteenth-century majolica ware (left) but also by the aura of Sonnenberg himself, a curator of bygone elegance. Page 61.
