MEN AT SEA
Food Before Women (Special Crspdt. N.Z P A.) LONDON, June 29. Judging by the experience of competitors in the 1960 transatlantic yacht race, lonely men at sea probably think more about food than women, says the “Lancet.” Three competitors filled in a daily medical log which began with a how-do-you-feel? section. Questions like: Sexy or not sexy? Happy without feminine company? Would yon enjoy the company of the other sex? were asked. The yachtsmen also noted their moods each day, their attitude to food, and any imagined experiences. Food took first place as something to think about. On the whole the men tended to be calm and relaxed rather than irritable and excited, says the report. They felt keen to do well rather than regretful at having started, and they tended to be confident rather than scared.
