The crash of a DC-10 near Chicago has aroused special anxieties. No isolated case of pilot error or bad weather, the disaster seems to have been caused by basic design or maintenance problems--flaws that might turn up on other jumbo jets. The FAA grounded all 138 DC-10s, and 68 of them had to be repaired. The episode called into question the safety of the DC-10 and the competence of the FAA. NEWS- WEEK'S coverage examines the accident and its aftermath, reviews the troubled history of the DC-b and looks at the Federal sleuths who are piecing together the clues to the crash. Page 34.

THE POPE COMES HOME: "I have kissed the ground of Poland on which I grew up, the land from which, through the inscrutable design of Providence, God called me to the chair of Peter in Rome." With those words, Pope John Paul II arrived in his homeland last week and received a hero's welcome from hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic Poles. The state visit, which continues through this week, was a heartening event for the "Church of Silence" everywhere in Eastern Europe--and a strong challenge to the Communist governments. Page 54. A BLOOMING BOOM: Record numbers of Americans are planting gardens in backyards, balcony tubs and shared community plots (right). Blossoming as a result of inflation, the gasoline shortage and a growing consumer reaction against chemically treated crops, the gardening industry is predicting a boom year as millions of people put down new roots. Page 86. THE SLUMP: The long-awaited economic slump seems to have begun and is likely to turn into a recession. But no one is surejust how deep it will get --or how much it will stem inflation in the face of a continuing, runup in oil prices. Page 77. THE GREATEST EVER? If all goes as predicted, Spectacular Bid (left) will romp home this weekend to win the Belmont Stakes and become the fourth Triple Crown champ in seven years--and the third in a row. Are top three-year-old colts getting better every year, or are their rivals getting worse? SPORTS editor Peter Axthelm assesses the changes in racing that make the Triple Crown look easier to attain. Page 117. THE AFGHAN QUAGMIRE: In Afghanistan, Muslim tribesmen have been waging a fierce rebellion against the Soviet-backed regime--and the war threatens to draw Moscow into a Vietnam-style quagmire. Tony Clifton reports from Kabul. Page 67. NEWSWEEK LISTINGS: NATIONAL AFFAIRS: Airliners: how safe? (the cover). The accident super-sleuths. The trouble-plagued DC-b. Getting together on energy.
