Mystery Writers are making a killing. GLITZ author ELMORE LEONARD. Cover: Photo by Andrew Sacks. TOP OF THE WEEK: MAKING A KILLING OFF CRIME: Yes, crime does pay--at least in the booming world of mystery stories and thrillers. The simple art of murder has become big business, with specialty bookshops springing up nationwide and computer software, board games and mystery weekends challenging a nation of would-be sleuths. Best of all, there's a host of stylish writers at work, led by modest and resourceful Elmore Leonard (right), whose dandy new crime novel, "Glitz," is finally bringing in the gold for a master craftsman. Also featured: Donald Westlake, Mysterious Bookshop's Penzler, Ed McBain, James Crumley, Arthur Lyons, Ross Thomas, and others. AMERICA'S 'SECRET ARMIES': Five years after the failure of the Iranian hostage-rescue mission, the Reagan administration is engaged in a major expansion of U.S. commando forces. But the top-secret buildup has been hampered by interservice rivalries and outmoded equip-ment--and the United States maybe no better prepared for "special ops" today than it was in 1979. MARCOS VS. THE REBELS: The Reagan administration is growing increasingly worried about the communist insurgency in the Philippines. U.S. officials have urged President Ferdinand Marcos to implement military and political reforms as part of the fight against the New People's Army. But so far the counteroffensive has had little success--and soon the guerrillas could pose a serious threat to a vital American ally. A UNICORN--OR A GOAT? The Ringling Brothers circus calls them unicorns. The ASPCA calls them goats--and a disgrace. Last week The Greatest Show on Earth found itself in New York with a controversy--and a new star attrac- tion--on its hands. HIGH TECH'S HARD TIMES: High-technology electronics companies have become America's biggest industry, breathing new life into an otherwise mature economy. But now high tech has been hit by a slump--caused partly by its own great expectations. NEWSWEEK FULL LISTINGS: NATIONAL AFFAIRS:. The politics of summitry.
