DIED. Vicente Aleixandre, 86, sickly, solitary Spanish poet who won the 1977 Nobel Prize for Literature for such volumes as La Destructión o el Amor (1935) and Historia del Corazon (1954), which dwelt on themes of love, death and eternity, often employing striking mystical or surrealistic metaphors from nature; of kidney failure; in Madrid. An invalid from his mid-20s, when he contracted recurrent kidney tuberculosis, Aleixandre became part of the Generation of 1927, a brilliant group of young poets that was sundered by the 1936-39 civil war; too ill to fight or leave...
...national ordeal that began 14 months ago reached a turning point last week, when Corazon Agrava, 69, chairman of the investigating panel, entered the Spanish-style Malacañang Palace for an audience with Marcos.

For that reason, they apparently believe that Ver should be charged as an accessory in a report that should raise serious questions about his deeper participation. But Corazon Agrava, the board's chairman, reportedly refused to accept that the second most powerful man in the Philippines was implicated...
Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos may not be everyone's idea of a "little Girl Scout." But that was how she described herself last week when she made an unexpected appearance before the government-appointed board of Justice Corazon Agrava to answer questions about the assassination of Opposition Leader Benigno ("Ninoy") Aquino Jr. in August 1983. Dabbing tears from her eyes, Mrs. Marcos, in a voice breaking with emotion, told how she had done everything in her power to save the life of her husband's chief political opponent. She vehemently denied reports that during a meeting with...
