...eyes of many Filipinos, the majority of the panel in fingering Ver had also impugned the President's integrity. Once Marcos' chauffeur and bodyguard, the ultraloyal Chief of Staff and the President have become increasingly dependent on each other, at least until the majority report broke. Says Charito Planas, a U.S.-based opposition leader: "Marcos and Ver are like Siamese twins. One can't do anything without the other knowing about it." The closeness of the bond has made it all the more difficult for the President to extricate himself from the Aquino affair. The U.S. Government...
...Bonanno-Genovese "sitdown." But Frascone continued to object, and Masselli ordered him killed, according to last week's indictments. The admitted killer was Mike Orlando, a former grade school teacher who had switched to an exciting and dangerous double vocation: he was Masselli's top bodyguard and an FBI informer.

Then, one night in March 1978, Astorga lured the smitten general to her home. After sending his bodyguard off to buy rum, she drew Peérez into her bedroom and disarmed him. The general undoubtedly thought he was in for a special night; he was. At that moment, five of Astorga's accomplices jumped out of hiding and slit Perez's throat from...
...changing to edgy watchfulness. Metal detectors are appearing in doorways, and if not all of them are connected yet, no one points this out to the unsmiling guards who gravely check their blank video screens, just for practice. Tomasek Juric, the impassive head of security who was once a bodyguard for Tito, flatly guarantees the safety of everyone who will be here. Even at the trials, his operatives were impressive; when someone among the Austrian downhillers set off a cherry bomb in the lobby of their hotel (standard apres-ski joshing among downhillers, who are considered by other skiers...
