COVER: DAY CARE: Who's minding the Children? Cover: Photo by Burk Uzzle.

TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
CAMPAIGN '84: ON THE ROAD: At last, the Democrats seemed to escape the malaise that had plagued them throughout the month of August. Walter Mondale reached a truce with former rival Jesse Jackson (above), and aides began negotiating over debates with Ronald Reagan. Meanwhile, Geraldine Ferraro took a six-state campaign swing-finally freed of questions about her family's finances. Page 22.

KEEPING DETENTE ALIVE: With East German leader Erich Honecker scheduled to visit Bonn soon, the growing ties between the two Germanys offer new opportunities-and pose risks. Page 34.

WHAT PRICE DAY CARE? Working parents have made day care a basic need of the American family. But the need isn't being met: not enough good day care is available at a price that poor or even middle-class families can afford. Some Americans argue that child care should be provided by parents, not hired hands; others complain that the United States lags behind such countries as Sweden in offering government-sponsored day care for all. Page 14.

THE ROAR OF THE CUBS: After 40 years of cavorting like softballers at the company picnic, Chicago's lovable losers have surged into September in first place. Led by MVP candidate Ryne Sandberg (left), the Cubs win the old-fashioned way: they earn it with good-field, good-hit baseball. Page 50.

THE SHAPE OF PLANES TO COME: The rollout of the X-29 experimental aircraft last week heralded a new age in aviation technology as engineers turn to radical new aerodynamic designs, high-strength materials and fly-by-light controls. If they succeed, today's science fiction will be the 21st century's way of flight. Page 72.
