...commotion mounted, the Marcoses left Hickam Air Force Base after a month-long stay and moved into a $1.5 million beachfront estate in the exclusive eastern Honolulu suburb of Niu.

By week's end the U.S. was considering asking a federal court in Hawaii to decide what to do with the crates sitting at Hickam. The Administration stoutly maintained that the Marcos party had no legal immunity from court suits or congressional inquiries. "No laws will be bent," said a Justice Department official.
