COVER: IRAN: HEADING FOR A SHOWDOWN. Anti-American mob in Teheran. Cover: Photo by Reza--Sipa-Black
Star.
TOP OF THE WEEK:
HEADING FOR A SHOWDOWN: It was a somber Thanksgiving. The siege of the U.S. Embassy in Teheran ended its third week, and although thirteen hostages came home, 49 others were threatened with trial as spies. Suddenly, violence rolled like a fireball across the Islamic world. Muslim fanatics seized Mecca's Grand Mosque. Frenzied mobs stormed 'American installations in four countries; the worst attack left two U.S. servicemen dead in the ruins of their burned embassy in Pakistan. And the war of nerves between Jimmy Carter and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini escalated ominously.
NEWSWEEK'S SPECIAL REPORT also includes stories on who runs Iran, the Shah's future, the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf, the roots of Islamic fervor and the backlash against Iranians living in the United States.
DESERT WAR: The Ogaden is a devil's anvil of rock and sand and thorn trees that seems almost worthless. But Somalia and Ethiopia are waging a relentless guerrilla war over the disputed land. In two years, Somali-backed insurgents have battled a larger army of Ethiopians and Cubans to a standoff. NEWSWEEK'S Nicholas Proffitt (left) visited the guerrillas for a look at a desert war that has forced 375,000 civilians into Somalian refugee camps.
PRIME CRIME: The roll of white-collar criminals runs the gamut from bank tellers to board chairmen, and crime in the executive suites costs the U.S. billions of dollars a year. In the past, penalties for corporate felons have been notoriously light. But Federal officials are starting to crack down.
LENS ARTIST: HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON, at 71 both an artist and the king of photographers, has chosen 155 of his photos for a show that is now in New York City and will travel to fifteen cities in the U.S. and Mexico by 1982. In a talk with Douglas Davis, he tells why he believes that, instead of being "taken," a photograph "takes" him.
DO-IT-YOURSELF HOMES: With housing prices soaring, interest rates sky-high and mortgage money tighter, more and more Americans are building their own homes. Do-it-yourself schools offer courses in everything from electric wiring to bookkeeping for enterprising homebuilders like Alison Keeler of Santa Cruz, Calif. (right). Although both instructors and builders warn that it takes hard work and headaches, the payoff can be a handsome house at half the price.
