...remain majestic even when she's just sitting around an airport, but that Richard Burton was scuffed and dented even on his good days. We learn that Burt Reynolds in a houndstooth, bell-bottom leisure suit is a remarkable sight, especially since you just know that Reynolds thought the outfit was the last word in suave. Anyone who tells you they don't enjoy the thought that wealth and fame are no defense against cluelessness is lying...
Your item on actress Jennifer Garner's upcoming movie, Daredevil, noted that she gets to wear great costumes, like the form-fitting, black leather outfit she sports in the photo accompanying your piece--which her ninja character wears to "go out killing" [PEOPLE, June 10].

In 1993, Davao's San Pedro Cathedral was hit with three grenades during an evening Mass. Six parishioners were killed. The attackers were Muslim militants, the sort easily found...
...Suspicions immediately focused on the so-called Davao Death Squad, a vigilante outfit the city has come to know well over the past decade. According to press and police reports, more than 100 thieves and drug pushers?some convicted, some charged, others not even formally arrested?have been killed in the city during that time, almost always with the same modus operandi: two men on a motorcycle with a .45 or a 9-mm firing at close range. Such killings were heavy in 1996 and 1997, then sporadic during Duterte's time in Congress. The pace picked up during...
