...executed in 1896. A vulgar, nightly sound-and-light show dramatizes the moment. But far more unnerving, in a city where it's hardly unusual to see children sleeping in cemeteries, is the pomp on display at the 97-year-old Manila Hotel, a 10-minute stroll toward Manila Bay. In the third Rosales novel, My Brother, My Executioner, set just after World War II, the head of "the country's leading sugar family" Eduardo Dantes rents two floors to lodge the European royalty and opera singers he flies in for a party.

The weather in Washington was cold and cloudy. The President seemed overcast as well, stowing his megawatt smile as he acknowledged one of the more depressing days in U.S. economic history - the day that major companies laid off more than 75,000 employees. I barely saw him smile all week...
