Does Aura Swap trigger ETBs?

Suppose I play [[Arcanum Wings]], and use its aura swap ability to exchange it with an aura with an ETB effect, such as [[Flight of Fancy]]. Would I draw the cards? How exactly does an 'exchange' work?

How did Douglas MacArthur and President FDR interact with each other?

Did they agree on certain points of doctrine, or did they despise each other? I also heard that there was an incident where MacArthur vomited on the stairs of the White House after a meeting with FDR. Is that true? What actually happened?

I understand that there's an energy cost that comes with raising offspring, but it seems like wasp species go above and beyond in their determination to avoid ever having to deal with child support. Galls, parisitoids, etc. Even the species who develop eusociality or symbiotic relationships have relatively weird parent-offspring dynamics (fig wasps). Is there a reason why? Is this unique to wasps?
