British industry has just rented a "brain train" to tour university cities and woo reluctant engineering and science graduates. There is serious talk about untangling Europe's thicket of loosely drawn patent laws and providing new incentives for formation of Europe-wide companies.

Toward the end of an operation, the surgeon or his assistant took a needle and suture thread and sewed up the dura mater, the brain's tough encasing membrane. A nurse testified that in some cases Whittaker had placed these stitches, but he denied...
