...house near the village of San Pablo, 40 miles north cf Manila. Realizing that they were outgunned, the Huks inside agreed to surrender. But while 13 men, women and children filed out the front door, four rebels tried to make a break for it across the back porch roof. Aided by the glare of the searchlights, the troopers picked off the first three. The last man out was Commander Oscar. A full burst of automatic weapons blew him completely off the roof. Ileto's message was not likely to be lost on other Huks-that as long...
Shortly after a Chicago restaurant was burglarized one night last week, Policeman Richard Kereta spotted a man running down the street. Kereta collared the suspect when he stopped to urinate under a porch. "I didn't do nothin' and I ain't answering questions," said Danny Escobedo, 28, as he was taken to the police station and plunked into a cell. Escobedo (TIME cover, April 29) well knew his rights: they were first limned in the Supreme Court decision that voided his murder admission in 1964 (Escobedo v.

...Mozart marathon. In the opening Concerto No. 4, composed when Mozart was eleven, she unfolded the beguilingly simple melodies with a rippling grace and ease; in No. 9 she engaged the Mozart Chamber Orchestra in a lighthearted dialogue that rang with all the gusto of a back-porch gossip fest.

...today, and the most sought after. More than 1,000 letters cascade into his office daily, including a recent premature request for a copy of his inaugural address, and at least 50 invitations to appear as a speaker. Last week in Austin, practically on the President's front porch, 8,000 Texas farm laborers and sympathizers campaigning for a $1.25 minimum wage burst into a spontaneous cheer: "Viva Kennedy!" In Boston, a crowd of 5,000 turned out to rubberneck as Bobby and a phalanx of Kennedy kin, including Massachusetts' Senator Teddy, showed up to dedicate...
...wonder that Perry invokes all the voodoo-and maybe a little moisture-to keep it that way. He's got a lot of responsibilities. His wife has just had a new baby, and there's a new house "with a two-car garage, a screened back porch, two fireplaces, four bedrooms and a real red carpet in the living room. And I have my own farm, too, four acres of tobacco and six acres cleared for corn, soybeans and peanuts." That's not bad for a sharecropper's son, and Perry figures that it will take...
