Differential cross sections for elastic scattering of $sup 12$C ions of 96 MeV, $sup 16$O ions of 129.5 and 192 MeV, and $sup 20$Ne ions of 161.2 MeV from $sup 208$Pb were measured and analyzed using the optical model. Values of the real potential near the strong absorption radii were extracted and some constraints put on its slope. Some information on the slope of the imaginary potential in this region was also obtained, while the magnitude of the imaginary potential here was found to be comparable to that for the real potential. The scattering was found to be almost completely insensitive to the real or imaginary potential for center-of-mass separations less than approximately 10 fm. In addition to Woods--Saxon potentials, folded-model potentials were also used, and a consistent description of the present and other data was obtained with a Gaussian nucleon--nucleon interaction. It was found that a nucleon--nucleon interaction with a range as long as that for one-pion-exchange is unacceptable. (NL)
