More than two years later, Burton was interviewing President Ferdinand Marcos at Manila's Malacanang Palace when an aide burst in and showed the President a wire service dispatch announcing Cory Aquino's candidacy in the national presidential elections. Marcos glanced at it and predicted, accurately, that Aquino and Salvador Laurel would form a unified ticket to challenge...
...other equipment to spare. After Mayor William Owens finished reading it, he did what any skeptic would do: he tested the signature by running a wet finger over it. The name Jose Duarte smudged. Says Owens: "It was real." The solicitation was one of more than 100 that El Salvador's President Duarte, himself a former mayor (of San Salvador, the capital), has sent to American cities requesting assistance for his war-ravaged nation.

On Monday, Salvador ("Doy") Laurel, 57, marched into the office of the Philippine Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and filed as a candidate in the Feb. 7 presidential election.

The gold and the jewels still shine in the '80s, but too many designers, alas, seem to specialize in the weird and bizarre...
Aquino's announcement did not resolve the larger question that loomed in the minds of Filipino voters. Would the splintered opposition forces now unite around Aquino, with former Senator Salvador ("Doy") Laurel, 57, holding the vice-presidential spot on her ticket? Or would Laurel, the other leading opposition candidate, pursue his own campaign, thus forcing Marcos' challengers to field two tickets and split the opposition vote...
