...Estrada, who never really got the hang of governing the Philippines, effectively or ineffectively, the end came suddenly as the week's initial good news dizzyingly turned to bad. When Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Angelo Reyes and Defense Secretary Orlando Mercado telephoned him Friday afternoon on a secure line from a secret safehouse, Estrada was just 48 hours removed from celebrating what had seemed like a crucial victory in his impeachment trial.

...ANGELO VOODOO Slick as chicken grease. Hotter than summer asphalt. D'Angelo summoned old ghosts--Jimi and Marvin--and woke up a new artistic spirit in R. and B.
