...presidency of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Or an accuser charging the government with some malfeasance, or a Senator or Congressman calling for Arroyo to quit, or a prophet forecasting "major change"?meaning a complete overhaul of the Philippine political system. The press is certainly looking for them, and writing up breathless copy even when they don't quite fit the bill. Eugenia Apostol, publisher of the new Mr. & Ms., did some television interviews at the relaunch soir?e and was asked: "Are you going to overthrow Arroyo?"

In May he started a series of interviews with people touched by the AIDS panic, taking his readers into hospitals, bathhouses...
Sara Delano Roosevelt was in labor more than 24 hours before her 10-lb. son Franklin was born, blue and breathless. The doctor urged that she avoid further pregnancies, which she may have done by totally abstaining from sex. Her dedication to young Franklin was of an intensity bordering on the morbid. She kept him in girlish skirts and long blond curls until he was nearly six. Every hour of his day followed a strict schedule: up at 7, breakfast at 8, lessons from 9 to noon...
