COVER: Ronald Reagan's Prognosis. The Cancer Scare -- How swift a Recovery? How Coke Blundered. Cover: Photo by John Ficara--NEWSWEEK.

TOP OF THE WEEK [Major Top Stories]:
THE WEST'S SCORCHED EARTH" As the 35-foot wall of flames raced across the bone-dry California coast, firefighters turned the conflagration back outside San Luis Obispo. But it was just a momentary victory as hundreds of fires raged across 14 drought-plagued Western states. Thousands of California residents were evacuated and Gov. George Deukmejian linked some blazes to arson. Page 24.

A PRESIDENTIAL CANCER SCARE: A half-dozen doctors stood ill at ease on the stage at Bethesda Naval Hospital, but the news they bore was good: after nearly three hours of surgery to remove an ominous growth from his colon, Ronald Reagan was resting comfortably and free of any immediate signs of cancer. It was still possible that a microscopic exam of the excised polyp would disclose malignant cells. In the meantime, for the first time in history, there was briefly an acting president of the United States. Page 14.

CLINT EASTWOOD: AMERICAN ICON: The famous squint and heroic proffle are the same. But in real life, Clint Eastwood--a.k.a. Dirty Harry and The Man With No Name, and the director/star of the new Western "Pale Rider"--is as affable as his characters are steely. He's so self-effacing that he worries about getting into screenings on the Warner Bros. lot if he can't find his studio pass. Page 48.

AND NOW, COKE ARE IT!: Old Coke was reborn last week--this time as Classic Coke--in the most stunning reversal in modern marketing history. It was a victory for disgruntled consumers and a humbling lesson for the giant Coca-Cola Co. Page 40.

ROCK SPECTACULAR: Telecast worldwide from London and Philadelphia, last Saturday's 16-hour LIVE AID concert, which included such superstar acts as David Bowie and Mick Jagger (right), was the biggest single event in rock history. Page 56.
