COVER: PROBLEM ADOPTIONS. Cover illustration by Rafal Olbinski.

PROBLEM ADOPTIONS: Each year about sixty thousand children are adopted in the United States by unrelated people. Popular images to the contrary, a large number of these adoptions do not involve infants, and many involve children with "special needs"--that is, minority children, children who are older, or children who have mental, physical, or emotional handicaps or who should not be separated from siblings. "In a significant and growing number of cases," the author writes, adoption "brings turmoil and grief." An honest approach to the issues, she believes, can lead to substantial improvements in child-welfare, mental-health, and education policy. by KATHARINE DAVIS FISHMAN.

DISSENT IN NAZI GERMANY In an article based on German archives and dozens of interviews, the author tells of three instances in which protest in Nazi Germany led to major concessions by officials of the Third Reich--including, in one case, the release of Jews who otherwise would have been killed. The episodes raise disturbing questions--and remind us, the author writes, "of the inescapable responsibility of peoples for the conduct of their governments." by NATHAN STOLTZFUS.

REPORTS & COMMENT:
WAS AMERICA A MISTAKE? The quincentennial of Christopher Columbus's landfall in the New World should be marked, some say, not with celebration but with penitence--peni-tence for racism, slavery, genocide, and ecological devastation. A distinguished historian observes that our own era is not the first to have had doubts about what Columbus wrought. And he argues that the revisionism once again goes too far. by ARTHUR SCHLESINGER JR.
WASHINGTON: SEMPER ANXIUS: They are "the few, the proud," but at a time of tight budgets and declining military spending the Marines are also beleaguered. The question that critics at the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill now ask: Has the Marine Corps lost its rationale? by MICHAEL WRIGHT.
