COVER: Defense Spending: How Muchis Enough? Secretary of Defense CASPAR W. WEINBERGER. Cover: Photo by Larry Downing -NEWSWEEK.

TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
THE RETURN OF THE WRAP: Diane Von Furstenberg, whose little wrap dress reigned as the uniform of the '70s, was once even more sensational than her line. Now, the designer is staging a fashion comeback, but is determined to let her clothes speak for themselves. Page 64.

BATTLE OF THE BIG EAST: With the college basketball season in full swing, St. John's is ranked first in the nation, and Georgetown, its Big East conference rival, is a close second. There are some new stars, but both teams are winning with old-fashioned methods. Page 74.

POPE JOHN PAUL II'S GOSPEL: On his sixth trip to Latin America, John Paul II preached his own brand of liberation theology, warning that those who politicize the Gospel distort the church's "authentic face." But the pope also offered strong support for workers' rights and reaffirmed the church's solidarity with the poor. Page 36.

REAGAN'S BUDGET: A BATTLE OVER DEFENSE: More guns, less butter. That's the essence of Ronald Reagan's budget for fiscal year 1986, which calls for gutting dozens of domestic programs while allowing Pentagon spending to rise by a full 13 percent. But this year's defense debate is likely to be much more than a battle over budgetary abstractions. Increasingly, influential congressmen and senators are asking pointed questions about how Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger (right) spends the Pentagon's billions.

NEWSWEEK examines the complex world of military procurement and details the ongoing federal investigation of General Dynamics, the Pentagon's biggest private contractor. Page 18.

HOSPITAL HOSPITALITY: Faced with dwindling revenues, hospitals are being forced to compete for patients. Some institutions have responded by trying to teach everyone from doctors to orderlies how to be more courteous, while others have added luxury suites and gourmet menus that "guests" are anxious to pay for. Page 78.
