Playing psychoanalyst, Atty. Antonio Coronel has examined the behavior of Atty. Lazaro and pronounced the man to be suffering from an obsession (Inquirer, Feb. 25- Mar.3, page 4).

Fairness demands that Mr. Colonel continue his foray into Freudian fields and diagnose the activities of Miss Chato Olivas, the saling-pusa of the defense panel.

Pouncing on anybody who believes in her father’s guilt, this woman demands, "Have you read the Agrava Report?" and makes personal accusations like, "Do you know what it is to respect a father?" (page 15).

She insists that everyone view the world as seen through the eyes of Chato Olivas, inductee’s daughter: "How would you feel if your father were indicted?" (Inquirer, Feb. 18-24).

Doctor Coronel - if this isn’t obsession, what is?
