...knows more about surviving at the South Pole than Siple (TIME, Dec. 31, 1956), the obvious man to establish the first year-round colony in the world's deep freeze. As a Sea Scout, he went to the Antarctic 29 years ago with Admiral Richard E. Byrd, has spent four winters there since. As it turned out, Siple's buoyant personality proved as valuable as his scientific knowledge. He ran a surprisingly contented camp despite the little group's isolation, and the wearing, jet-black night of winter that was four months long. Siple's formula...

And, not far from Costello's, in the heartland of McNulty's world, half a block of stores has recently been razed to make room for the cleanly headquarters of the Girl Scouts of America, who will have no difficulty at all in identifying the trees.
