Undeclared Candidate Corazon ("Cory") Aquino, 52, the widow of the late senator, made a surprise appearance at Manila International Airport to greet Salvador Laurel upon his return from a trip to the U.S. Laurel, 57, is leader of the United Nationalist Democratic Organization, which accounts for 37 of the 59 Assembly seats held by the opposition. As cameras snapped, Laurel leaned forward to kiss Aquino, who backed away. That evening over brandy and tea during a two-hour meeting at Aquino...
