In the Philippines, authoritarian ‘strongman’ President Ferdinand Marcos – having once survived a sex tape scandal that should've sunk him, and having siphoned billions from the people he's impoverished, oppressed, tortured and murdered – unleashes his police and military goons to assassinate and terrorise the opposition during ‘free’ elections.
Plus: Rupert Murdoch smashes the print unions; Maggie Thatcher hit by two scandals; and Australians fear they'll be living in George Orwell's 1984 under the proposed Australia Card.
