Summary: "In Ninoy Aquino's exposes - ominous indeed and prophetic now sound - was there an exact, as it turned out, prognosis of what Mr. Marcos was up to. Unfortunately, such philippics were chiefly enjoyed for their titillation. The danger signals Ninoy defined excited thrills rather than concern and he was cheered for being so bold an oppositionist, so shrewd a fiscalizer, when he should have disquieted as a stormy petrel voicing omens of impending ill."
