No tenor today is more exciting than Luciano Pavarotti. Called King of the High C's, he has an outsize physique, voice and personality that recall the golden age of Caruso. In his profile of Pavarotti and the world of tenors, Music editor Hubert Saal (photo) concludes that another golden age is here. (Newsweek cover photo by Bill Ray.). SOUNDING ILLINOIS: In the third of a series of pre-primary couting reports, a team of Newsweek staffers canvassed 101 voters in seven selected areas in the Republican showdown state of Illinois last week--and found President Ford in position to win a major victory over challenger Ronald Reagan on election day next week. HOUSING'S NEW LOOK: There are signs the homebuilding industry Is finally getting hack on its feet, but the recovery is uneven-- and the American dream of a home for everybody may never be the same. The pinch on prices, interest rates and land means that houses will be simpler, smaller and closer together--and barring a technological breakthrough, a good many consumers may never be able to afford even a no-frills home of their own. HEROIN HARVEST: In Mexico's Sierra Madre this month, the opium harvest is under way. Almost unnoticed, Mexico has become the U.S.'s biggest supplier of heroin--and has sharply altered the national drug scene. Correspondents Anthony Marro and William Schmidt followed the new heroin pipeline from Mexico to Chicago. HOSTS WITH THE MOST: Washington is blooming with parties this spring, and bachelor diplomats Alex Orfila and Ardeshir Zahedi lead the competition for host with the most. Amid caviar and champagne, reporter Lucy Howard talked with Zahedi about the social scene. "It's business and pleasure at the same time," explained the dapper Iranian. "At a party you exchange views without actually being committed.". NEWSWEEK LISTINGS: NATIONAL AFFAIRS: Campaign '76: fighting for the middle. Who's ahead in Illinois.
