...helpful in illuminating the issues at hand. Like Professor Hoffmann, I dislike fanatics and ideologues of all stripes and hues. As he has taught me and several generations of students and colleagues, the world is very complex. Recognizing that there are more ways to write a bad and dishonest book than being paid to do so hardly takes us down the path of obliterating the differences between liberal societies and their enemies.

The Marcos-dominated Commission on Elections (COMELEC) supervises the polls. Moreover, each step of the vote- tabulating process, from the precincts to urban and provincial centers, and finally to the National Assembly, is dominated by government employees and K.B.L. members...
