COVER: Moscow's New Generation. MIKHAIL GORBACHEV. Cover: Illustration by Jeffrey Smith.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
Moscow's New Generation: fter years of halting rule by feeble old men, the Soviet Union uddenly had a leader who looked like he belonged at the helm. onstantin Chernenko had been dead for less than 24 hours when ikhail Gorbachev, 54, took over as the new boss in Moscow. mart, tough and relatively young, Gorbachev appeared deter-med to impose new discipline and efficiency on the ossified oviet system. He also showed a flair for public relations that ivaled Ronald Reagan's--a skill that could turn the competition between the superpowers into a much closer match. NEWSWEEK'S SPECIAL REPORT chronicles the smooth transition of power in Moscow, profiles the new leader and offers an assessment from Soviet dissident historian Roy Medvedev of Gorbachev's ascent. The centerpiece surveys the impact of a new generation of leaders on Soviet society, from technology and medicine to pop culture and the arts. A concluding essay addresses the tarnished appeal of the Soviet model in the East bloc, China and the Third World--and weighs the question of whether Gorbachev can improve the fortunes of the Soviet Empire.

LEBANON: MORE WAR: mid mounting violence in Beirut, the United States vacuated staffers from its mbassy. In the south, Mus-ims stepped up attacks on sraeli forces--and Israel truck back at a Lebanese village (right).

RADIO'S ZANY PROFITS: Today's disc jockeys create a zoolike atmosphere, barraging listeners with outrageous jokes while serving up Top 40 hits. Advertisers love it--and the old medium is raking in the revenues.
