COVER: The Storyteller's Art: V. S. NAIPAUL's Tales of a Troubled World. Also: Cover photo by Ian Berry.

TOP OF THE WEEK:
TALES OF TROUBLE: He has been called the greatest writer in English today for his dark, powerful novels and travel books about the "half-made" societies of the Third World. An Indian born in Trinidad who writes in England, V. S. Naipaul is also highly controversial, and his new book, a study of Islam, is one of his most alarming.

A MIDEAST MUDDLE: Once again Mideast diplomacy was in a muddle. While Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin denounced the Saudi peace plan, Jordan's King Hussein beamed at Ronald Reagan but bought his first Soviet weapons. The United States tried to reassure Arabs and Israelis alike-and to reassert leadership in a tenser Middle East.

THE BICKERING BANKS: If they are to compete with emerging financial giants like the Merrill Lynch bull (left) and American Express, U.S. banks need relief from the rules that strictly limit their expansion. On that point, almost everyone agrees. But the banking community is deeply split over just what form deregulation should take.

REAGAN'S SQUABBLING AIDES: Ronald Reagan's top foreign-policy advisers were squabbling in public again last week-and the open disputes raised new concerns at home and abroad about the Administration's consistency and competence. At the center of the multiplying controversies was Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig (far right, with national-security adviser Richard V. Allen). Allen and Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger were also involved-and Reagan demanded that the infighting stop.

BLEEP-BLIP, KABOOM! Video games have invaded the country and turned millions of teen-agers (and elders) into galactic pinball addicts. Critics say they glorify violence, but engineers are readying new electronic riffs on the $5 billion bonanza.
