- Hindsight is beautiful. In his article, Walter Shapiro implies
- that 20 years ago, in 1969, I should have been perceptive enough
- to know that Ferdinand Marcos did not have a "commitment to
- democracy" and that presumably I should not have worked for him in
- the last free and open democratic presidential election held in the
- Philippines (ESSAY, Sept. 4). The writer is correct when he says
- I refused to work for Marcos in 1986. I am sure he is not aware
- that on several earlier occasions I also rejected overtures to work
- for the Marcos government. I do wish I were blessed with the
- clairvoyance Shapiro suggests that all consultants should have, so
- that I could know what my candidates would do five or ten or 15
- years after they were elected.
