Super Runner MARY DECKER. Cover: Photo by Warren Morgan. TOP OF THE WEEK: KADDAFI'S NEW ADVENTURISM Libyan strongman Muammar Kaddafi was on the move again. In Chad, waves of Libyan warplanes bombed Faya-Lar-geau, an oasis town that loyalist forces recently captured from Libyan-backed rebels (below). In Upper Volta, a pro-Libyan Army captain overthrew the pro-Western regime. Washington sent Chad Redeye antiaircraft missiles and kept the aircraft carrier Eisenhower steaming near Libya. REAGAN WARMS UP FOR 1984 Ronald Reagan learned the perils of saying he's sorry last week. After a women's group had its White House tour abruptly canceled, the president raced over to apologize in person. His gender-gap troubles multiplied after an impromptu speech about "women's place." Reagan may not yet be running officially for reelection, but he is wooing women, blacks and Hispanics with the fervor of a true candidate. AMERICA'S OLYMPIANS: GLORY BOUND America's two leading Olympic hopefuls, Carl Lewis and Mary Decker (left), are gearing up for Los Angeles this week at the World Track and Field Championships at Helsinki, Finland. NEWS-WEEK profiles long jumper/sprinter Lewis, perhaps the greatest all-round athlete since Jesse Owens, and Decker, who already holds one world and five American running records. The way they live and train offers insight into how the rules and money of the "new amateurism" are changing American athletes. TEEN SUICIDE IN THE SUN BELT Suicide has become the second leading cause of death, after traffic accidents, among 15-to 19-year-old Americans. The problem is particularly acute in the fast-growing communities of the new West, like Plano, Texas, a comfortable suburb of Dallas, where children of the upwardly mobile have met sadness, isolation and despair on the sunny and spotless streets of a "perfect" community. THE POLICING OF AMERICA Their new album is No. 1 on the charts. So is their hit single "Every Breath You Take." MTV is giving them saturation play. The phenomenally popular Police, three punk rockers led by superstar Sting, are playing the United States on an eight-month world tour--and driving fans wild with both their music and their charm.
