Filipinos celebrate anniversary of 'people power' government
MANILA. Philippines — Filipinos cheered and danced yesterday in the same streets where they stood en masse a year ago and laced tanks with "people power" and drove President Ferdinand E. Marcos into exile.
Bands played and people danced on cars and rooftops. Crowds cheered "Cory! Cory!" for Corazon Aquino, the widow of an assassinated opposition leader who became president.
The crowd cheered as the night sky blazed with fireworks at 9:05 p.m., the time on Feb. 25, 1986, when Marcos and his wife, Ivelda, left the presidential palace in a
U. S. helicopter.
Police estimated yesterday's crowd in Manila, which centered along the Epifano de los Santos Avenue, at 500,000 to one million.
The military was on full alert for the anniversary in case of attacks by Marcos loyalists or Communist rebels.
"We have restored freedom in this country," Aquino told the crowd after an open-air Mass. "Now, we have to continue with the same 'people power' spirit of selflessness and dedication to achieve our other goal. . . alleviation of mass poverty."
Gorbachev calls 1987 year for reformation
MOSCOW — Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, citing stiff internal resistance, said yesterday that the Soviet Union must choose between "bread democratization" and social and economic stagnation.
Gorbachev called 1987 the deciding year in his efforts to reshape the country and ominously noted that he might get off to a bad start in January.
"The main thing, and hence the most difficult, still lies ahead," Gorbachev told a meeting of the
nation's state-run labor unions. "It is now time to get the reorganization actually moved."
The Soviet leader made clear the resistance to change would be tough, noting he postponed the January meeting of the Communist Party and meeting times before he had agreement on the measures to be announced.
Gorbachev criticized the sources of resistance to reorganization, sluggishness and the desire to wait things out and blamed lazy workers, factory bosses and cities.

Supreme Court OKs affirmative action plan
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court approved an affirmative action plan yesterday that promoted a black for each white, foreshadowing future defeats for the White House and its view that affirmative action discriminates against whites.
However, the court's vote in the case involving Alabama state
troopers, a politically polarized 5-4, shows how tenuous the majority's hold is.
Nonetheless, the ruling brought immediate praise from civil rights groups and a quick pledge from the administration to continue the fight against the plans it views as reverse discrimination.
CIA says director-nominee falsely blamed
In a sharply worded statement, CIA spokesman George Lauder
WASHINGTON — The CIA denied yesterday a report alleging that CIA director-nominee Robert Gates helped circulate a memo favoring aral deals with Iran and Saudi Arabia, so swiftly be would be confirmed.
said The New York Times "false-ly" alleged that Gates agreed to circulate the memo in order to win favor with senior officials.
The New York Times reported Monday that Gates agreed to send the White House a memo in 1985 favored arms dealings with Iran.
Trapper to look for gator in drainage pipes
ORLANDO. Fla. — A professional trapper said yesterday that he would paddle a small boat into the city's eerie underground storm drainage system in search of an 8-foot alligator who flushed city workers out of the pipes.
City workers discovered it this week while making a routine inspection and cleaning of the building from one of Orlando's many lakes.
"It itdn't take them long to get out of there," said trapper Terry Parlier. "But it actually ran from
them, too, so I doubt it's vicious."
Partier, who said he had captured about 250 gators in two years of trapping, tried Monday and Tuesday to find the reptile.
"It was pitch black and the water was waist deep," he said. "It was pretty unpleasant."
But Parlier did not see the animal and has no idea where it went. He said, "There are so many lakes that run off this system. It could be anywhere in the whole system."
