...followed the President's campaign on the islands of Bohol and Negros in monsoon rains. Hillenbrand, who is based in Bahrain on the Persian Gulf, endured bone-jarring rides on motorcycles and military trucks while keeping up with Aquino and Laurel on campaign stops across the 115,830-sq.-mi. archipelago...
...words between Washington and Managua has heated up since Dec. 2, when contras downed a Soviet-built Sandinista Mi-8 helicopter with a Soviet- made SA-7 surface-to-air missile.
