Cliffhanger Movie

For more than a year, American rock climbers and mountaineers have looked forward to the release of the Sylvester Stallone film "Cliffhanger" with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.

Here in the birthplace of exiled ruler Ferdinand E. Marcos, the Philippine military set up something of a homecoming present last week for the deposed dictator. It wasn't the welcome wagon.

All three had their guns pointed straight down the runway.
