...headline: TARUC SURRENDERS TO PRESIDENT MAGSAYSAY, but at the Philippine army's Camp Murphy the situation looked somewhat different. Taruc was installed in quarters usually reserved for VIPs. A Cabinet officer lent him a flowered shirt, photographers had a field day, soldiers brought in fans to keep him cool.

Huntingtonism was seldom well received by anthropologists or by real-estate promoters of hot countries. In the Florida Anthropologist, Anthropology Professor Frederick R. Wulsin of Tufts (in cool Massachusetts) comes to the defense of the tropical and semitropical climates. It's not either the heat or the humidity, Dr. Wulsin says: it is over-dressing that robs tropical residents of their energy...

More important, they create near the skin a layer of hot, moisture-saturated air. Sweat cannot evaporate until it has soaked through the clothing, and then its cooling effect is largely wasted. Dr. Wulsin ridicules the idea that Europeans in tropical climates should wear helmets and heavy clothing to keep from being felled by the tropical sun.

Said Paulist O'Malley: "It was one of the finest concerts I've ever conducted...
...choir supports itself tidily with society weddings, big-name funerals and concert tours. Last week's anniversary concert netted a cool $9,000. The choir also furthers the special concern of the Paulists-to propagate the Roman Catholic faith among other Christians. Many non-Catholics are drawn to St. Mary's by the music, and several Protestant choir members have become converted...
