This principle comes clear in the joke about a wife whose doctor informs her that her husband is suffering from the physical effects of dissipation: "Dissipation? But doctor, that's impossible.

Gajdusek believes that slow-acting viruses may be to blame for no fewer than 30 human diseases of the nervous and muscular systems, some rare, some common. In the hope of explaining them -and thus, eventually, of curing or preventing them-he is weaving together all the seemingly disparate threads of disease in mink, sheep and men, and painstakingly amassing information for which earlier virologists would not wait...
