Tuesday was the day of the twin inaugurals. Aquino had wanted a daylight ceremony because, as she said in her address, "it is fitting and proper that, as the rights and liberties of our people were taken away at midnight 14 years ago (when martial law was declared), the people should formally recover those rights and liberties in the full light of day." An hour later Ferdinand Marcos stepped onto the balcony at Malacanang Palace before a crowd of 4,000 cheering supporters and took the oath of office. "Whatever we have before us, we will overcome," he promised, while...
...base, Schuller opened the Crystal Cathedral in 1980. U.S. Christendom had never seen the like. Designed by Architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee, it has a 128-ft.-high network of white steel trusses supporting more than 10,000 silvered panes of glass, which diffuse an effulgence of brilliant daylight. Sunday mornings at the cathedral have more the feel of sporting events or variety hours than worship services. Gold-jacketed attendants guide cars in the parking lot. Inside, caged canaries chirp and camera-toting tourists click away through worship. As the service begins, 90-ft. doors open to reveal twelve...
...royalty, the English economist and journalist Walter Bagehot wrote, "Its mystery is its life. We must not let in daylight upon magic." Charles and Diana have allowed the shutters to be opened just a crack. To spread them any further would spoil the illusion. To be modern, yet keep the mystique--that is the trick. It is a trick that Charles and Diana have gracefully mastered...
...called the quarterback situation "not the best thing in the world." An understatement. Gabianelli replaces competent but injured veteran Brian Stretch. RUNNING BACKS: Harvard's backfield is perhaps its most overrated area. Fullback Robert Santiago is the best in the league in the open field, but has rarely seen daylight this season. Rufus Jones will sit out today's game with an injury. Joe Pusateri, Terry Denson and George Sorbara give the back field some depth. * RUNNING BACKS: Hard-nosed tailback Ernie Torain has averaged over 70 yards per game, but only 3-1/2 yards per carry...
...gentle way of saying the Royals have the feeblest batting average in the American League and have scored the second-fewest runs. California, on the other hand, is a team of pensioners. From First Baseman Rod Carew to Rightfielder Reggie Jackson, as sure as the Chicago Cubs play in daylight, the California Angels play in twilight. Their manager, Gene Mauch, is the most respected one never to win a pennant. Ahead of the Royals by one game in the West division, the Angels faced downy-cheeked Righthander Bret Saberhagen first, and at the end he dismissed Jackson with three called...
