...startling new treatment for schizophrenia marked by delusions of persecution (one of the most difficult forms of the disease) was reported to Zurich by Dr. D. Ewen Cameron, director of Montreal's Allan Memorial Institute. Key to the treatment: "complete depatterning" of the patient's mind through shock therapy and deep sleep.

Hurricane Audrey swept on north, at some 35 miles an hour, carrying winds up to 80 miles an hour. It drenched and stirred up twisters through the Ohio River Valley, crashed lustily through western Pennsylvania and New York and jaded out in Canada.
