During his year in office, President Ferdinand Marcos has leveled a two-pronged attack on the troublesome pockets of Huk rebellion that still persist in parts of central Luzon more than a decade after the collapse of the main Communist insurgency. One weapon is a social-reform program that aims to undercut the Huks by building schools and hospitals, repairing wells and roads, and providing land-improvement loans to farmers. The other is the cold steel and hot bullets of a 3,800-man military force under Colonel Rafael Ileto, 46, who was named last winter to hunt down...
There is a growing suspicion among at least 20 college basketball coaches that they have just wasted two whole years working furiously on their defenses and doodling the name Alcindor on the backs of old envelopes. It was heartbreaking enough when Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr., the most sought-after high-school basketball player in the U.S. two years ago, decided to pass up their scholarship offers and go to U.C.L.A. instead.

Sitting next to Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos at a U-shaped table of gleaming rubbed mahogany in Mala-cafiang Palace, home of the islands' rulers-Spanish, American, and finally Filipino-for a century, Johnson noted that four principles dominated the talks. They were that "aggression must fail," that the allies must press pacification and development programs in South Viet Nam, that the budding spirit of cooperation among Asians must be nurtured, and that peace must be pursued. The important thing, he said, was not to mislead Hanoi as Hitler was misled before World War II. "I know that some...
