	Expat Yank: One American living in the south of England
		Templer was a tense, nervous man with a crisp manner and a high-pitched voice, who seemed to have buzzing engines within, driving him into constant physical, mental and social activity.
		Templer was given virtually dictatorial powers by Churchill's government, and as the functions of government were re-organized, so too was the military campaign.
		Templer famously remarked that, "The answer [to the uprising] lies not in pouring more troops into the jungle, but in the hearts and minds of the people." (Lapping, 174.) He demanded that newly built villages, where ethnic Chinese were resettled away from the jungles and beyond the reach (and influence) of the guerrillas, look inviting.
