...Volatile Filipinos want a volatile leader, like peppery Ramon Magsaysay, who was killed in a plane crash seven years ago. Diosdado (Spanish for "God-given") Macapagal, at 54, is well-meaning but dour, a self-proclaimed "poor boy" from the distant provinces who prefers conservative business suits to the cool, frilly barong tagalog sport shirt favored by Manila sports and Magsaysay...
That Man from Rio is the most mature statement of the BAH Hypothesis.

The artist has made multicolored silk screens based on collages following Wittgenstein, but that is only half his homage. His cool sculpture, welded collages made of objects that do not exist, are themselves contemplative nonsense. Their aim in art, as Wittgenstein defined his in philosophy, is "to show the fly the way out of the fly bottle...
