The deposed president is in the market for more amenable pastures, but he may find he cannot hide from his past.
"There aren't too many governments that would want to take him in." Lande said.
His best chance, according to Lande, may be in seeking out a poor, corrupt government and paying off
local politicians to insure a comfortable residence.
Marcos' unpopular image in the Philippines has been part of the reason for the success of the new president, Corazon Aquino.
"They're happy to see an end to a government that had been too long in power." Lande said.
Grant Goodman, professor of East Asian history, said the Aquino government was in its "honeymoon
period" and could anticipate broad support from the people of the Philippines.
Goodman attended a scholars conference on the Philippines in late February.
The Philippine government is able to enact bold new policies because of the favorable attitude of those who consent to being governed, he said.
"The question is how long does the honeymono last and how well can it
be used to implement policy," he said.
Both Goodman and Lande agreed that the biggest problem facing Aquino was the depressed Philippine economy.
Lande said the new administration must change the country's export products to attract foreign investors and encourage investment by local business people.

As the president prepared to speak,
dozens of demonstrators carrying candles and anti-administration placards marched on the sidewalk outside the White House chanting, "Stop the killing; stop the lies. We know what contra money buys."

For its part, the Nicaraguan
government, in a statement issued by its embassy in Washington, accused Reagan of attempting to hoodwink the Congress and U.S. public into supporting a policy of creeping military involvement of U.S. combat troops in Nicaragua.
Contras defeated, recent report says

--trip to Nicaragua between Jan. 31 and March 3. MacMichael said the contras inside Nicaragua had been chopped into small groups by remorseless government offensives.
The author of the report, David MacMichael, said last week that his report on the contras, to be released today, was discarded by the Reagan administration.
WASHINGTON — A former CIA analyst has written in a report that the contras already have been defeated by the Nicaraguan government and that any more U.S. aid to the rebels would only antagonize other Latin American nations.
MaeMichael's report became public as President Reagan pressed his campaign — capped by a nationally broadcast address last night for Congress to approve $100 million in military and humanitarian aid to the countries, who are trying to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista movement.
MacMichael first came to public attention last year when he said there was no evidence since 1981 that the Sandinistas were shipping arms to left-wing guerrillas in El Salvador.
His contention is strongly disputed. Administration officials last week displayed with great fanfare a cache of weapons and other military supplies. They said the cache was an example of the supplies now flowing from the Sandistas to the guerrilla groups in EL Salvador.
In his report, based on a four-week
MacMichael listed eight Latin American leaders, including Colombian President Belisario Betancur, who have told the Reagan administration that they thought U.S. aid to the contras was a bad idea.
The Nicaraguan system of universal military conscription and clearing border areas of local populations had been effective, he said. The San Juan team of having won a strategic victory over the contras was correct.
The leaders also have said the aid package would be an indication that the United States has rejected a diplomatic solution for the region and has opted for an escalation in military action.
The eight nations involved in the Contadora peace process have taken Reagan's aid request as a direct rebuft to their February appeal to Washington to support a dialogue.
MacMichael estimated that there were no more than 2,500 contras inside Nicaragua. Administration officials said recently that the contra forces consisted of up to 20,000 men with a large proportion controlling chunks of Nicaraguan territory.
