...Moral outrage is only one of Houston's concerns. The sex arcades have also become "a prime center for the transmission of disease," says Dr. James Haughton, director of the Houston health and human services department. Nearly 11% of the 214 cases of syphilis detected by one city clinic in the first quarter of this year have been tracked to the arcades.

Mrs. Aquino has said she would run only if her supporters collected 1 million signatures in her favor. The sole declared candidate to date is former Senator Salvador ("Doy") Laurel, 56 (see interview). Yale educated and the son of a former Philippine President, Laurel and his United Nationalist Democratic Organization...
...widowed father has been forced to go for work, Natty predictably acquires a furry, four-legged friend. But this is no instantly lovable mutt; it is a full-grown, fang-baring wolf--the fairy-tale villain turned into a saving presence. He makes an apt symbol for a handsome, moral and emotionally satisfying movie that is too strong-minded to settle for those virtues or for easy sentiment and cheap nostalgia...
