International 3-14 AFGHANISTAN'S LATEST SCOURGE At least 10,000 villages have been turned to rubble in the 18 years that Afghanistan has been at war, but now the ruin comes from the Taliban, strict Muslims who had once promised to end the fighting. 12 MEXICAN MYSTERY DEEPENS In the more than two weeks since they unearthed a body on a ranch belonging to the brother of a former president, investigators have made no progress in learning who the dead man is or how he got there. 3 FUROR OVER VENEZUELA PRISONS The death in a Caracas prison of 25 inmates, burned alive in their cell by National Guardsmen last week, has become a focus for the rivalries that lie behind the misery of Venezuela's prison system. 4 BOSNIA'S WEAK ECONOMIC ENGINE Although some diplomats had counted on industrial renewal to help restore the links between Bosnia's Muslims, Serbs and Croats, economic growth has turned out to be much slower than expected. 13 THE STRUGGLE FOR JERUSALEM It is a city with not much industry, little strategic significance and too little water, yet of all the issues separating Jews and Palestinians, none approaches the passions fired by Jerusalem. 14 U.N. EVACUATION IN ZAIRE Eastern Zaire descended further into chaos as fighting spread and intensified, forcing the United Nations to pull out its 98 relief workers and leaving half a million refugees to fend for themselves. 14 National 16-34 A FOCUS ON TURNOUT The final 10 days of the 1996 campaign are shaping up as a furious struggle by the two parties and their allies to get their supporters to the polls, in the face of widespread indications that sagging voter interest may well diminish turnout. 1 A HARSH ATTACK BY DOLE Bob Dole continued trying to stir up ''outrage'' at the Clinton Administration, offered a rare mention of Hillary Rodham Clinton and criticized the President's lack of military service. 1 ATLANTA BOMB CASE The Justice Department declared that Richard A. Jewell is no longer considered a suspect in the July 27 bombing at the Olympics. 1 STEPPING DOWN, AND ONWARD Among the 14 Senators who are retiring this year, there is a mixture of excitement and angst over the future. 22 WORRY OVER WETLANDS As small wetlands in Panama City, Fla., give way to Wal-Marts, with the approval of the Army Corps of Engineers, other agencies are becoming concerned. 22 PEROT, FOUR YEARS LATER An American Place: In Canton, Ohio, which gave strong support to Ross Perot four years ago, there are some defections this time around, but a longing for Perot-like change persists. 26 Metropolitan 35-40 GIULIANI BACKING KEMP (AND DOLE) With a little more than 200 hours left before the Presidential election, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani ended months of hand-wringing yesterday and endorsed the Republican presidential ticket of Jack Kemp and Bob Dole, virtually in that order. 1 CITY PAYS FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION Hundreds of parents of learning-disabled children are getting New York City's public school system to pay for educating their children in private schools, at an annual cost of $20,000 to $60,000 a child. 35 CUBAN ARTISTS: JUST VISITING They dance on New York's most famed stages and organize the latest downtown art exhibitions.
