...class interests were less controlling than race. But a large slice of the other Southerners whom Degler depicts as opposing slavery and secession have business class interests more in concert with rising Northern industrialism than with languishing Southern agrarianism. From Degler's portraits, Cassius Marcellus Clay of Kentucky, Hinton Rowan Helper (author of The Impending Crisis of the South, 1857) and Daniel Goodloe of North Carolina and Henry Ruffner of Virginia--citizens of the antebellum Other South--preached the same gospel of economic development that Henry Grady and the New South spokesmen would advance in the 1880s. In both cases...
Last week President Marcos, 56, discussed these and other issues in a three-hour interview at Malacanang Palace in Manila with TIME Hong Kong Bureau Chief Roy Rowan. Cabled Rowan: "The small, sinewy President is possibly the most athletic chief of state in the world-a below-par golfer, water skier, pelota player and former wrestler and boxer-and he looked ready for 15 rounds.

He regularly rises at 5 a.m. or even earlier (having gone to bed about 10 p.m.), avidly reads newspapers and newsmagazines ("I have a great respect for columnists-everybody from James Kilpatrick to Carl Rowan -they're all solid Americans") and arrives well prepared for his day's work after predawn study. A mediocre golfer who is pleased when he breaks 100, Sirica has wavy black hair, an erect bearing, and a healthy complexion that makes him appear some 15 years younger than his 69. The Siricas have three children: Jack...
Working for TIME also placed an unusual burden on one of Rowan's colleagues in the Hong Kong bureau, David Aikman. After completing an interview with Moslem rebels in the southern Philippines, Aikman was paddling down a creek when an entire rebel village - men, women and children with assorted weapons - hailed him from the shore. "They said they were fighting for secession from the Philippines," he reports, "but they had a novel alternative to independence: they wanted to be taken over by the U.S. and imagined that I had been granted Kissingeresque powers to rearrange national sovereignties...
