Neither one of these results is conclusive, although the citizens group would appear to be more reliable due to the fact that it is an independent organization, free from Marcos' dirty hands. Both candidates have also declared that they would not accept a situation in which their opponent emerged victorious. Marcos has made it quite clear that should Aquino come out ahead once the final vote has been tallied, be will simply declare the elections invalid. Aquino, on the other hand, has stated that the only way Marcos could win would be through fraudulent means (to which Marcos is no stranger) and that if he does win, she will organize massive movements of civil disobedience. The possibility of serious confrontations and great instability hangs heavy in the air. The elections seem to have brought nothing but uncertainty and tension to the chain of tiny islands. In feet, the only thing that is certain at this point is that, just as everyone expected, the Philippine elections were riddled with violence, fraud and corruption. The election violations were so blatant and extensive that the 44 member international team of election observers was unanimously convinced that the govern- ment unquestionably rigged the election. Even the American observers, dispatched by President Reagan (a long-time Marcos . supporter, had to admit that they, themselves, had witnessed numerous incidents of fraudulent voting and vote-counting. Some of the abuses mentioned by the international team in- clude vote-buying, intimidation, snatching of ballot boxes and tampered returns. In some sections government troops have been going door to door bribing or forcing villagers ID vote for Marcos. In one town, whose total population is under 35,000, the number of registered voters somehow managed to reach 56,000. But such tactics are harmless compared to the brutally violent tactics practiced in other parts of the Philippines. So far 92 people have been murdered in election-related violence and many more have been seriously wounded. And so, amidst a cloud of uncertainty, some things have in- deed become clear.

Two Professors, Three Sisters How Woody Lea Worrying. By Adriana D'Andrea

Something was wrong with the way these Hare Krishnas looked. I couldn't figure it out, but they just did not look right-or should I say-real? They looked insincere, almost like-props in a movie? "Woody Allen is standing right behind you," said an ex-Observer editor to me just outside Sheep's Meadow in Central Park. What was I to say? I had no choice so I blurt out the predictable exclam- atory reply "No way! You must be kidding! etc." that one is obligl- ed to give a friend when she tells you something that you're not sup- posed to believe like, "Woody Allen is standing right behind you." Naturally, I turned around (the obligatory follow-up). Yes, he was standing a few yards behind me and three other Observer editors, wearing a short-sleeved brown polo shirt as I do recall and as I saw him in his latest movie. The Hare Krishnas now made sense. Down Sheep's Meadow were flood lights, ai^dio equipment and film-making people.

It's that time of year again. Time to plop yourself down in front of your television and watch a three-hour back-patting, often bor- ing, salute to the music industry. Yes, it's Grammy time once more. Time to see the artists who you think truly deserve Grammies lose to those whom you often question how they ever got a recording contract. This star studded event, that will raise your blood pressure will be broadcast February 25 on CBS-TV. i Since it's always fun to go through the nominees and pick out the winners, that's what I'm going to do. I will try to make my guesses somewhat educated (or at least make them sound that way). The Dire Straits big question is whether Mark Knopfler and his "brothers in arms" are going to sweep the awards. With eight nominations, you have to figure that Mark Knopfler is going to make it to the stage at least once. Enough stalling, let's get started. Record of the Year—This award goes to the performers of the song. Dire Straits with "Money For Nothing," Don Henley's Boys of Sum- mer," Huey Lewis and the News with "The Power of Love," Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." or USA For Africa and "We Are the World." Okay, this is Springsteen's only nomination. The Academy might be feeling a little guilty about skipping over Bruce in favor of Rick Springfield last year, so they might give it to him. Then again "We Are the World" is really a-salute to the music in- dustry. After all, they are the people, they are the ones who make a better day, so why not vote for them. "The Power of Love" is the kind of pop, broad appeal music that the Academy has favored in the past while Henley's "Boys" do have a lot of style. Chances are Bruce or USA is going to win. Question is, are all the people who sang on the record going to troop up on stage. If so, that will prob- nominated her for her performance on an entire album. Madonna choice.

If not, Dire Straits for sure. in line. It might go to Dire Straits but I'd prefer if it went to Sting. Both their nominations are for work on their albums. Sting deserves Best New Artist-Take your pick, we've got Sade, Julian Lennon, Whitney Houston might surprise (and nauseate) everyone and win. it a little more. If Wonder wins, Collins will probably say what he Freddie Jackson, Katrina and the Waves or A-Ha. I'll pick Katrina. (God, I hope not.) said about the Oscars (after losing to Wonder).
