- ABOUT FACE
-
- Hoping to flush insurgents from the bush, draw them to the
- negotiating table and end a two-decade-old rebellion, newly
- elected Philippine President Fidel Ramos has proposed
- legalizing the Communist Party to allow its members to
- participate openly in the political process. So far, rebel
- leaders have not rushed forth with white flags. They question
- Ramos' sincerity, recalling his cold-warrior reputation and
- tough line on negotiations when he was armed forces chief. They
- want more political reforms and more progress against poverty.
