Cover: Photo by Jodi Buren- Wheeler Pictures. ALL ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S: A MEDICAL MYSTERY: The degenerative brain disorder known as Alzheimer's disease is still a medical conundrum. Researchers have a gallery of suspects, from genetic links to environmental toxins. But only one thing has recently become clear: the fourth leading cause of death for adults will take a staggering toll on the nation's health- care system and on "the hidden victims," the families of sufferers. Society: Page 54. OUT OF CONTROL: Change in Eastern Europe was nearly out of control. In East Germany, a power vacuum provided new impetus for reunification. Czechoslovakia was on the verge of a mostly noncommunist leadership-with a playwright as its guiding spirit. And Lithuanian nationalists served warning that runaway change may not stop at the Soviet border. International: Page 32.
