I don't doubt your street knowledge, but as for what Reagan did, Lou Cannon wrote much the same thing: "But as the prospects for a bloody battle in the streets of Manila increased, Reagan accepted the advice of State and the professionals. On February 24 he issued a public plea for Marcos to resign. The next afternoon Laxalt received a call from Marcos wanting to know if the statement represented Reagan's view. Laxalt returned the call from the White House and offered him asylum if he peacefully abdicated. "I think you should cut and you should cut cleanly," Laxalt said. "I think the time has come." Marcos said he was "very, very disappointed" but accepted exile in Hawaii." - Lou Cannon Role of a Lifetime p. 835 I believe that supports my original statement: "Reagan had Marcos eased out of office. Marcos would not leave until he heard it from Reagan. Reagan gave Marcos sanctuary and had him prosecuted." Message 11506767 I suppose Reagan could have had him assassinated like JFK did to an inconvenient leader, but I believe that became illegal after the Church hearings and a Ford executive order.
