...enduring insurgency problems is the feud between the guerrillas of the Hukbong Mapagpalayang Bayan* and the Philippine government. For more than two decades, the Huks have been active in what is commonly called "Huklandia," an area in Central Luzon where social and economic ills create a fertile breeding ground for discontent. At the height of the insurgency in 1950-51, the Huks had an estimated 20,000 well-organized men under arms.

...been surprised by its airy openness. It is bathed in natural light, which pours down a central courtyard and through wide light shafts rising the full height of the nine-story building. It is extraordinarily accessible, with a subway station nearby and even has a concourse running through its ground floor. "It is the nexus of a lot of pedestrian routes in the city," says Architect Noel McKinnell, whose firm, Kallmann, Mc-Kinnell & Knowles, won the competition to design the building as the centerpiece of Boston's 60-acre Government Center...
