About the book "Good And Evil": Here again, Larry Henares shows a streak of malicious humor when he writes about sex in the US Army, and explains why the American soldier uses a push-button instead of a gun and cannot fight face-to-face-combat because he is harassed below the belt by nymphomaniacs in front and homosexuals behind. He writes of Erich the Hun, wife beater and art thief, who pisses on our Manila Bay; of Teddy Benigno the Goon of Lourdes street who had his face re-arranged in various street rumbles; of Ding Lichauco (Alexander the Great), a hunted man turned hunter; of Don Andres Soriano; and the great grandmother of Father Reuter who defied her father and seven brothers, and exile to America, to send for and marry her Irish Protestant boyfriend. He writes of Dofi Ysidra Cojuangco, girlfriend of General Antonio Luna, who entrusted her with the resources of the First Republic, the source of the Cojuangco's fabulous family wealth; of Larry's own grandmother Pelagia Maramba, his mother-in-law Emma Roensch Lichauco, his granddaughter Cristalle the Goddess of Light, and his son-in-law Tonichi Chewing Gum Chuidian. And of course his usual stable of personalities in the contemporary scene - Speaker Monching Mitra, ex-Senator Roding Ganzon, Opus Dei Jess Estanislao and Erap Estrada. In perspective, he warns of the World Economic Disorder under the aegis of IMF and the US government, Devaluation, the China Lobby of Taiwan. Most interesting of all, he writes the whole sad saga of Pepsi-Cola in the Philippines, a story that has never been told before. He advocates the Death Penalty in these days of unrestrained violence. He decries the greed of the drug companies, and of US corporations, as well as the impositions of the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) on our economic policies and on the Constitution itself. He writes of the ballerinas of the animal kingdom in the midst of the African Savannah. But most moving of all, he writes of the Egyptian Sphinx who speaks to us across the centuries from the beginning of time. This is one of the best books of Larry Henares. ----------------------- Dr. Hilarion M.
