The World's prisoners of conscience suffer harsh jail terms, torture and ruined lives. Does America still care about human rights? Truckers Strike: Death on the Highways. Why the Generals can't run the Pentagon. Cover: Illustration by Marvin Mattelson. Inset photo by James Nachtwey-Black Star. TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]: DEFENSE: CRISIS AT THE TOP: Does the brass at the Pentagon do an adequate job of guiding U.S. defense policy? The answer, say many who are closely involved in the process, is no-and the core of the problem is the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The JCS's decision-making process is ponderous and flawed, producing waste in peacetime and disaster in war. Page 22. THE PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE: They carry no guns and throw no bombs -but they refuse to abandon their politi cal beliefs, and that's crime enough to dump tens of thousands of prisoners of conscience into cells from Siberia to Santiago. NEWSWEEK'S cover story details the tragedy of victims too easily forgotten once the iron doors clang shut behind them. Companion articles profile the cases of five victims and assess what Washington can do to help limit humanrights abuses. Page 40. A FORCED MARCH IN AFRICA: They piled into cattle trucks, they crowded onto rusting ships, and most of them simply trudged on foot through the heat and dust-the largest forced march in Africa's recent memory. The tragedy unfolded as Nigeria summarily expelled some 2 million illegal foreign workers- overwhelming relief agencies and spreading turmoil throughout impoverished West Africa. Page 32. MYTHS OF MIDDLE AGE: Western women may fear the menopausal years. But sociologists are starting to find that their more sheltered sisters in other cultures-such as the Indian lawyer at left-often begin a freer, fuller life at 40-plus. Page 73. PIRATES II: On Broadway, Joseph Papp's "The Pirates of Penzance" was the very model of a modern major musical. Now the swashbuckling crew has returned-both on film and, simultaneously, on pay-per-view television. Page 85. [FULL NEWSWEEK LISTINGS]: NATIONAL AFFAIRS: The truckers' strike: death on the highways.
