Election Day. Voted in Batac. Left Baguio by Fokker at 9:40 AM. Left Laoag at 12:40 PM. I am being blackmailed by a Dovie Boehms [Beams] who has called a press conference at 6:00 PM and said she was my mistress. A damned lie! Sometime ago she threatened that if she...

Imelda and I are happy in Baguio. It has been a long time since we have really been together. We spend hours alone—hours of tenderness and love. I must see to it that we do it more often. And she is lovelier than ever. She is blooming in the Baguio air. I can swear...

November 3, 1970

Hit a 71 at Camp John Hay golf course. And I seem to have more stamina. This is the second day I have played golf, slept only five hours last night and improved on my 75 yesterday. But the most surprising thing is I have been running up the hills and I do not feel...
