...period in the two decades that he has ruled the Philippines. New infusions of aid, totaling $108 million, from the International Monetary Fund and foreign banks have yet to revive the country's devastated economy. Communist insurgents are gathering strength and undertaking increasingly daring raids. Controversy continues over the murder of Benigno ("Ninoy") Aquino Jr., the former senator who was shot and killed as he returned from exile two years ago this week. And last week Jaime Cardinal Sin, long a critic of the President, declared: "The Filipino has had enough of one-man rule. He has had enough...

A lot of Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis as well. Let Gilbert loose, the fear is, and watch...
...death in a nursing home. Last June a man in Miami put two bullets in the heart of his three-year-old daughter who lay comatose after a freak accident.
