eeTOP OF THE WEEK MAY 31, 1982 The British Go In With diplomacy at a dead end, Britai launched its long-expected invasion of the Falkland Islands last week. On a moonlit night thousands of troops stormed ashore on East Falkland. The Argentine defenders launched waves of warplanes to bomb and strafe the attackers. But the British established a beac! head and prepared for an offensive aimed at forcing an Argentine surrender. NEWSWEEK'S cover package chronicles the invasion, traces the failure of diplomacy and profiles the oppos- Remaking America’s Zoos ‘Only a few years ago, many 200s were inner- city slums, with lethargic beasts huddling in cramped cells.

A larger fleet of smaller carriers, costing no more than the supercar riers, would be much more capable of both surviving a Soviet attack and successfully launching its own offensive actions. If the US. Navy is sent to battle, we'll discover that for years we've been building our very ‘own Maginot line. The lesson DUNCAN A. YIN Princeton, NB. Youdrew some odd conclusions from the sinking of HMS Sheffield. The Sheffield is a small ship. At only 3,500 tons, the Sheffield is as small as our smallest combat ship, the Perry-class guided-missle frigate. The Per- ry class bounces around so much in heavy ‘seas that its helicopters—its principal ant sub weapon—can barely operate. Most of the British flotilla are even smaller at only 2,400 to 2,900 tons. The lower a radar plat- form sits in the water, the smaller the search ‘adius is; a small ship rolling in tall seas is effectively blind. The “smaller, more nu- ‘merous targets” argument is limited. As you make ships smaller, they become noth- ng but targets. If you have surface combat ships at all, they might as well be large ‘enough to go places and do something. The British would probably swap their whole flotilla for one Nimitz-class carrier and two California or Virginia cruisers. Ifthey'd had them from the outset, the Argentines might hhave been deterred from taking the Falklands. PAUL J. MADDEN Seattle, Wash When studies show that our super-big, super-expensive ships would get blasted to the bottom of the ocean in an actual battle, hhow docs the Reagan Administration reac Itclassifies the studies “secret” (secret from uus—obviously, the Soviets already know it) so that itcan goon building them regardless cof whether or not they will work. DWAYNE MARTIN Harrisonburg, Va. School Prayer It is completely appropriate that Presi- dent Reagan has reiterated his support for prayer in the public schools (NATIONAL AFFAIRS, May'I7).

When 1 million people express their support for prayer in the public schools, the President feels compelled to respond to what is obviously a grass-roots ‘movement. Please tell me, Mr. Reagan, which is heavier: a pound of lead or a poun of feathers? Canoe R. Kass Staten Island, N.Y Sirhan and Parole What a mockery of justice if Sirhan Sir- hhan should be paroled in 1984! His attor- ney claims that he “has already spent almost twice as much time behind bars thirteen years—than most murderers in the state” (NATIONAL AFFAIRS, May 10) If that represents an average of only seven years served for murder in California, then ‘our justice system is much too easy. Mur- der is murder, and a life sentence should mean for life. GORDON E. CRANDALL Blue Island, UL While the concept of equal justice under the law is fine, we know itis Far from the ‘norm in our country. It isn't that the life of Sen.

In your article “The Cream atthe Top” (BUSINESS, May 17), an intolerable amount of inequal: ity between bosses and workers was demon: strated.
