...measles."* The usual symptoms are a mild sore throat, a light rash, and a fever of not more than 102°. In children, some swelling of the lymph glands is common but is usually not severe. Only rarely does the virus of three-day measles lead to pneumonia or brain inflammation. But it may occasionally be fatal. Last week three children's deaths associated with the current epidemic had been reported from Chicago, and a Connecticut teen-ager had died of encephalitis. Less predictable and less understood is a complication among adults: pain in the joints, sometimes so severe...
...same and nearby strata came bones of a creature that is much more manlike. His well-formed foot shows that he walked erect. Despite his small brain size, he had a fairly high forehead, not a flat one like that of Zinjanthropus. He was probably about 4 ft. tall, but Dr. Leakey thinks that he used tools and weapons. Sometimes he may have killed and eaten his stupid cousin Zinjanthropus...
...will feel deprived. When an engineer in the Spokane branch has a problem that needs the attention of Model 70's mighty brain, he can tell his little Model 30 to call for help by wire.

All the little problems of all the little computers flash through its brain in a few seconds, and the answers are distributed to the proper branch offices. Then Model...
...that the same thing happened to the utricle and saccule. There may have been some internal bleeding, though there is no direct evidence of it. It may be simply that the shock irritated the microscopic nerve endings that pick up signals from the nonhearing organs for transmission to the brain. What is clear is that Glenn's hearing is unimpaired, but when he moves his head, his brain receives garbled signals from his damaged organs of equilibrium. X rays do not show any bone fracture, and the electroencephalograph shows no brain damage...
Died. Alejandro Lavorante, 27, Argentine boxer who won 17 heavyweight bouts in the U.S., lost five (including one each to Cassius Clay and Archie Moore); of brain injuries suffered when he was knocked out by San Francisco's Johnny Riggins in September 1962; in Mendoza, Argentina. Despite three craniotomies, Lavorante remained in a coma for 18 months, though nurses fed him meals, guided him through exercises, even trained him to comb his hair...
