To ward off everything from osteroporosis to cancer, Americans are buying millions of dollars worth of calcium and other mineral suppliments. Do these miracle minerals work? What are the risks? Cover: Illustration by James McMullan. TOP OF THE WEEK: CRUNCH AHEAD: By next October, Congress and Ronald Reagan will have to pare $45 billion to $60 billion off the federal deficit-or the rule of a new law called Gramm-Rudman will do it for them. Either way, it will be the largest deficit reduction in American history. Only the poor and the elderly will be immune; the middle class is sure to feel the pinch. National Affairs: Page 19. TOUGH TALK: His health failing again, Ferdinand Marcos warned that an opposition victory in the Philippine presidential election might lead to a military coup. With hopes for a fair election rapidly fading, the communist threat to the Philippines could only grow. International: Page 28. THE CALCIUM CRAZE: Suddenly, calcium is playing an important role in the daily regimen of millions of Americans-and no wonder. The mineral is widely thought to prevent the debilitating bone degeneration known as osteoporosis, it might lower high blood pressure and some scientists suggest it helps prevent colon cancer. Since 1980, U.S. sales of calcium supplements have increased sevenfold, and they are still soaring. But not all experts agree on the benefits of calcium and other mineral supplements-and many cite serious risks. Lifestyle: Page 48. PRIVACY: The growing incidence of drug use and theft on the job has led many employers to take countermeasures; but these often mean techniques like polygraphs and urine tests that invade privacy while yielding no guaranteed results. A legal debate continues: how far do the Constitution's protections against unreasonable search and seizure extend to the workplace? Society: Page 56. APPLE'S MAN: His boss, John Sculley, says the personal-computer business can't stand another legend, but Apple Computer's Jean-Louis Gassee has all the makings: a French accent, a black leather jacket, a penchant for X-rated metaphors and an esoteric philosophy that befuddles his compatriots. The 10-year-old company is now counting on its new supersalesman to help reverse Apple's fortunes in the business-computer market and develop new products that will guarantee its future. In other words, he is expected to become the new Steve Jobs. Business: Page 42. [FULL NEWSWEEK LISTINGS]: NATIONAL AFFAIRS: Dr. King's last victory. A move to the GOP?. Budget crunch ahead.
