What a difference a year makes. Notes Virginia ex- Governor Charles...
...documents arrived at the office of New York Democrat Stephen Solarz, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs, in three bulging brown folders. Hours before, at the State Department, an identical package had been delivered to Jovito Salonga, head of the official Philippine commission charged with recouping the scattered wealth of deposed President Ferdinand Marcos and his free-spending wife Imelda. In all, the 2,300 pages formed an intriguing if incomplete treasure map of the vast fortune that Marcos, his family and cronies command. The cache only confirmed much of what Salonga had already unearthed among...
