ABC NEWS NIGHTLINE {FERDINAND MARCOS} (TV)
Summary
One in this series of nightly news programs. This program, hosted by Ted Koppel, features an interview with Ferdinand Marcos, former president of the Philippines. Topics discussed include the following: his experiences in the last few weeks since being banished from his powerful political post; whether the charges of money laundering are true; his establishment in a new home since he and his wife, Imelda, cannot return to the Philippines; his surprise at the way the government that he created turned against him; the erosion of his power when word spread that the U.S. government held him in disfavor; the reason he decided to arm himself when the U.S. withdrew its protection; the way home movies of a birthday party caused people to misjudge the amount of money he has; the possible reason people are so curious about the overwhelming number of shoes that his wife owns; the source of his money for personal expenses; his attempt to explain the documented expenditures of his wife; the advice he would give the new president of the Philippines, Corazon Aquino, if given the opportunity; political threats that may be imminent for the Philippines in the upcoming years; whether he would ever try to return home and gain political power again; whether he feels that announcing a "snap election" marked the beginning of his demise; the validity of accusations that the election was corrupt; his ninety-four-year-old mother's state of health and whether he could eventually return to the Philippines to bury his mother; and the difficulty his family has with their new, less comfortable living conditions. Includes commercials, promos, and public service announcements. This program is closed-captioned.
