TIME'S Men of the Year [Jan. 2] choices are appropriate. Ronald Reagan and Yuri Andropov have not only profoundly affected the news of this year but will undoubtedly have an impact on the news of next year and probably for many years to come. Depicting them back to back implies a continuity for catastrophe. Face to face would imply communication, which could reap a harvest of hope for peace on earth to men of good will...
...brief letter from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. to Warner Communications was impeccably polite, but it had the impact of a death threat. Received on Dec. 30 and made public last week, the letter announced that Murdoch's company might buy up to 49.9% of Warner's stock.

According to the National Safety Council, the U.S. death toll in alcohol-related traffic accidents over New Year's weekend was 274, the lowest since 1949. During 1980, the U.S. Department of Transportation reports, 28,000 people were killed in accidents involving alcohol; in 1982 the total...
...cover story even after hundreds of Palestinians had been massacred by Lebanese Christians in refugee camps in an Israeli-controlled section of Beirut. Broyles' explanation: he did not know he could switch covers on a Saturday, as TIME did. Last August a provocative story on the impact of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) on the gay community was illustrated by a cover photograph of two men in an embrace...
