once more shown how consistent and admirable an enemy of crime he
is.
The Filipino “Dirty Harry” vowed last Monday
not to lift a finger to help his son, Manuel, who was arrested in a

help him. Whatever trouble he has got himself into he must bear by
himself.”

Politics and religion
|
|
THERE is supposed to be a separation of Church and State as ordained
by our Constitution. Yet, religious matters often intrude into
