...owners of this lavish jungle hostelry are Hollywood Actor William Holden, Swiss Industrialist Carl Hirschmann and a jaunty U.S. oil millionaire and gambler named Ray Ryan. The three claim to have sunk a million dollars into improving the once staid Mawingo, which Ryan bought on a whim over a few drinks...
...before Christmas; but despite the young man's filthy clothes and his rumpled blond hair, he was clearly not drunk. "I've had a fall," he explained in a clear voice. "I'll be all right as soon as I get on the bus." Two or three minutes later, the young man boarded No. 8 bus, a cream and blue double-decker carrying at least 50 people.

Like La Guardia, Lacson cleaned up a corrupt administration and a wide-open city; he fired 600 incompetent job holders. Night after night, Lacson patrols Manila in a black police car, returns from time to time to a corner table at the Bay View or Filipinas hotels, where he listens to complaints and requests, or talks profusely on a plugged-in telephone, punctuating his conversations with shots of whisky and four-letter expletives. Sunday nights, Lacson...
