...Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and filed as a candidate in the Feb. 7 presidential election. On Wednesday, Corazon ("Cory") Aquino, 52, did the same thing. With the ink on Aquino's registration papers barely dry and with only hours remaining before the midnight filing deadline, there was only the dimmest hope that the two opposition leaders would patch up their differences and revive plans that had collapsed three days earlier to run on a single ticket. The possibility loomed that the opposition vote would be split in the snap election--and President Ferdinand Marcos, 68, would be assured of victory...
...astronomers and other scientists, the thrill goes far beyond a squint through an eyepiece on a shivery night. Although experts warn that Halley's latest go-round -- or apparition, as they call it -- could be the dimmest of the 30 visits in recorded history, from a scientific standpoint it will be nothing short of the Fourth of July. Next March, as Halley's speeds toward its closest approach to earth, it will be greeted by five diminutive, instrument-crammed space probes, two launched by Japan, two by the Soviet Union and one by the eleven nations of the European Space...

Day gives him the nickname El Lobo and introduces a scene in which the hero stares pensively at a caged but still spunky wolf...
...hand, has thought that they could help vindicate him. But not until last week, under the Freedom of Information Act, did he finally win his battle to obtain the secret films. One roll was entirely blank (as Chambers himself indicated in his book). The two others showed only the dimmest images, barely discernible but obviously of innocuous material on how to use a chest parachute, how to use a fire extinguisher, drawings of microphones-all found in standard Army and Navy manuals of the period. Now 70, Hiss said that the three films should help exonerate him because they "certainly...
