Navarro [Summary] => The cat is half out of the bag. So why not let all of it out? Yes, and let’s be done with the pesky mystery of who "Jose Velarde/Valhalla" happens to be and what role, if any, he plays in the smoldering Juetengate scandal.

By forcing today’s dramatic showdown on the question of opening sealed bank records regarding the case, President Estrada’s lawyers are doing both their client and the nation a most terrible disservice.

Better words than bullets.

My first reaction, like that of many people I know, was to laugh off this announcement on the evening news the other day. Perhaps Estrada just got carried away in trying to prevent or at least postpone the resignation of Science and Technology Secretary Filemon Uriarte from the Cabinet.

Navarro [Summary] => Sportsmanship and civility, among the most cherished of American myths, may be the ultimate casualties of the bruising US presidential stalemate between Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush.

It used to be said that Americans play not so much to win but to test their skills and to have a good time for all. Winners are magnanimous in victory and losers take disappointments most philosophically as one of the inevitable hazards of daily life. The rules are said to apply whether Americans play baseball, conduct business or run for public office.

Although it’s happening for the first time in this country, this spectacle of the high and the mighty being made to answer for alleged high crimes against the nation has happened over and over again in history.

At once caring and discreet, she has willed herself never to pry into anybody’s life nor to allow anybody to pry into hers. A true woman of mystery.

Bright and wise in the ways of the world, she never speaks ill of anybody or anything. Many times I’ve tried to provoke her into saying something nasty about human vermin like Idi Amin or Pol Pot, but I’ve never caught her off-guard.

True, there are all sorts of legal requirements, timetables, spending limits and sacred cows to cater to. But by and large, the candidate who seeks office has no real guarantees.

Outsiders and foreigners cannot help but be aghast by the sheer flood of words, the ceaseless obsession with image-building and the tyrannical hold of that institution called polling on this nation’s political life.
