California's obsession with campaign cash is compounded by the growth of so- called transfers, money controlled by legislative leaders and doled out to loyal supporters. Though both parties employ the system, by far the biggest transfers trove belongs to Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, a Democrat, who raised $4.2 million in contributions that he could use in his own or other 1984 campaigns. Brown pumped nearly $1.2 million of that bundle into 14 other races, making the powerful speaker California's largest single political contributor. "It's an absolute arms race," admits Brown, who only last December picked...
...lawyers, and Jose Diokno, another former Senator and human rights activist. Aquino can call on economic expertise from the disaffected Philippine business community. She and her advisers have also been cultivating relations with high- and medium-ranking members of the armed forces.

An outspoken critic of the Marcos regime, Tolentino has called for the President's resignation...
...delegates attending the nominating convention of the ruling New Society Movement (K.B.L.) had assembled at the Manila Hotel to submit the party's nominations for the presidency. As expected, Marcos' was the only name offered. Formalities concluded, the President entered the hall, borne triumphantly on the shoulders of loyal aides. With a touch of nostalgia, or perhaps superstition, he wore the same striped short-sleeved shirt jacket that he had worn to the 1965 K.B.L. nominating convention at which the stage was set for his first successful presidential bid. After the cheers of "Marcos still!" had quieted, the President stepped...
