...reform program to bear fruit, Ramos needs political stability and time, which may be the most important reason he has chosen to side with Aquino. Another factor, say officials in both the Aquino Cabinet and the military, is that he may want to succeed Aquino when her presidential term expires in 1992. Married, Ramos has five children, all girls, whose ages range from 13 to 31. He is scheduled to retire from the military in two years. The central question is how long he will side with Aquino now that he is no longer the point of balance between...

...return against Green Bay this week, McMahon has not lost in 22 starts dating back to 1983. In 40 openings over three injury-prone years, he and the Bears are 36-4, and Ditka is as galled as several of the players.
