...Reagan Administration's concern and frustration with Marcos is a far cry from its attitude a few years ago. Vice President George Bush, on a visit to Manila in 1981, gushed effusively to Marcos that "we love your adherence to democratic principles and to the democratic process." In 1982 the Philippine leader was welcomed with open arms at the White House. What stood uppermost in U.S. calculations at that time was the fact that Marcos controlled something that the U.S. badly needs: access to Subic Bay Naval Base and Clark Air Base, two of the most important American military facilities...
...House subcommittee's main concern last week was to establish whether the Marcoses are indeed landlords in the U.S. Attention focused primarily on a 13.7-acre waterfront estate in Center Moriches, Long Island, called Lindenmere. The paper trail begins with the lawsuit cited in the San Jose Mercury News, and a virtually identical February 1984 case that was revealed by New York City's Village Voice. In each suit the plaintiff charged that he and several partners, including Mrs. Marcos, had purchased Lindenmere in 1981 through a Cura(pi202)FIX THIS!ao-based corporation called Ancor Holdings N.V., with plans...
...unhappy people. Schell is upset that a double was used and has vowed never to do another mini-series. Schiller (who is given co-directing and "preproduction" credit) is still furious about his ouster, and has filed a $10 million lawsuit.

...generally teaches pupils for 48 hours, costing a total of about $1,000. Sylvan recommends 36-hour blocks ($900); Huntington averages roughly 120 hours ($2,600). Says Nell P. Eurich, a trustee of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and an expert on remedial training: "My only concern is that so few people can afford this type of program." Yet there has been no shortage of applicants to the centers ever since Reading Game Founder and President Kenneth Martyn opened his first one in Huntington Beach 16 years ago. Martyn, a former professor of special education at California...
...timer, Reagan likes to sound a continual rallying cry to youth. Young people will have to live with the events of this time, his message declares. New concern about education, both in families and communities, has already improved classroom discipline and learning. That crusade must go on in the grass roots. And catastrophic medical costs for some elderly patients, so devastating to their families, must be studied to see if there is not some program that would ease the lives of the old and free the young from this threat of economic ruin...
