The marquess, mad at Wilde and the world, threw out insults that practically begged for a libel suit.

As darkness fell on Las Villas de Valle Verde, an exclusive residential park in suburban Manila, 35 soldiers raided a town house in the enclave. Battering in windows and pounding their automatic rifles against walls, the squad rounded up the elusive Honasan and three associates as some of them relaxed over a meal. Some soldiers in the raiding party saluted as their captive was led away...
