scheduled to speakbefore The Commonwealth Club this Sep-tember,Philippine Vice President SalvadorLaurel resigned his post as foreign affairssecretary in yet another assault against Co-razon Aquino's fragile government.  \nAs presidential candidates gear up forthe race,the question of protectionist tradepolicies will be more than a warm up ex-ercise.The candidates expect a hot de-bate on the issue since the U.S.trade defi-cit for August was $15.7 billion—a draco-nian legacy for the next administration.  \nNoon,Wednesday  \nMaking accusations Aquino is \"soft oncommunism,\"Laurel not only released analleged secret intelligence report listingmore than 100 leftists in the government,but also formed a political alliance withopposition leader Juan Ponce Enrile,Aquino's former defense minister fired lastNovember after a foiled coup attempt.  \nGrand Ballroom,Sheraton-Palace Hotel  \nWhile bitter lessons of history,culture,and environment seem only to poison thehope for peace in the Middle East,twoleading Americans—a respected leader ofthe Arab-American community and a giftedand authoritative spokesman for the Jewishcommunity—engage in whatis all too oftenlacking in conflicts over that troubled re-gion:Dialogue.  \nSenator Albert Gore is hard in the run-ning for the Democratic presidential nomi-nation.If elected,39-year-old Gore will bethe youngest man ever to fill the Oval Of-fice.  \nDistancing himself from the pack bybeing the \"resident hawk\"on defense,Senator Gore's voting record ranges frommoderate to conservative,while he holdsthe type of Southern pedigree the Demo-crats dearly crave.But outside of Tennes-see who knows him?How will he play inCalifornia?  \nClaiming Aquino reneged on her prom-ise to allow him to run the govenment iftheir presidential ticket defeated Marcos,Laurel,while no longer a member of amember of the cabinet,retains the title ofvice president,a remnant of the politicalalliance they forged in December 1985.  \nCo-authors of
