...revolt--the second military rebellion in four days--produced a deluge of popular support for Alfonsin's government, which was elected in 1983 to restore democracy after seven years of harsh military rule...
...resumption of fighting comes at an awkward time for the Aquino government. The Philippines is preparing for May 11 congressional elections, the first legislative balloting since Aquino took office last year during the popular revolt that toppled former President Ferdinand Marcos.

Never mind that Gottlieb is considered a brilliant editor, held in high esteem by authors as disparate as Joseph Heller and Doris Lessing, as well as by a number of New Yorker writers who are published by Knopf. The shabby manner in which Shawn was treated and the fact that an outsider was chosen over his objection infuriated staffers. "There was an appearance of violence and crudity about what Newhouse did," complained...
