...Brain surgeons are not uniformly enthusiastic about ultrasound and still rely heavily on X rays. But even skeptics concede that, as a first screening procedure, the new technique has the great advantage of simplicity and painlessness. It may spare many patients the heroic procedure of having air injected into the brain cavities (ventriculogra-phy). Some British neurosurgeons report better than 90% accuracy for ultrasound in determining whether a brain tumor or a hemorrhage is present, and if so, where...
...merchants. When everyone is sufficiently depressed, publishers of inspirational texts will find a renewed market for books disproving hollowness on the ground that Everything Is Stuffed with Meaning. Meanwhile, in the hollow or waning-moon part of the cycle, we have had The Waste Makers, The Pyramid Climbers, The Brain Pickers, The Naked Society, and that inevitable-but-yet-unwritten examination of the lunch habits of advertising men, Breath in the Afternoon.

...Liberal Realist. Crandall is an arbiter as well as an oracle. Many callers attack earlier callers. One last week referred to another as "that insignificant punk with the molecule brain." Crandall tries, usually with success, to filter out the emotion and get the people on the other end of the wire to come to terms with themselves and say what they really think. "Once you get past that facade," he says, "you get to the real honest human being who is bugged by something, and you must help him see what it really is that is bugging...
