...lower jaw is too short, Dr. Obwegeser cuts halfway through its rearward, ascending segment, the ramus, on the inner side. On the cheek side, he cuts halfway through the bottom part of the jawbone. Then he divides the bone lengthwise, leaving two pieces with half-thickness ends. He slides these pieces apart, lengthening the jawbone but leaving a space where the lower cut was made. Where nonalignment is too great to be corrected by an operation on the lower jaw alone, Dr. Obwegeser may move all or part of the upper jaw. With remarkable versatility, he can even move...
...trigeminal neuralgia,* remains as little understood as the disease's power to set off stabbing, lightninglike pain, as severe as any known to man. It usually involves one side of the face, sometimes affects the forehead and eye region, but more often concentrates its attack on the cheek and jaw. In early stages, the stabs of pain last only a few seconds and may be hours apart.

Bangkok bustles with evidences of the pursuit of sanouk, or pleasure, the mainspring of Thai life. Busy asphalt boulevards are supplanting the ancient, lettuce-clogged klongs-the canals where Thais still fish, drink, bathe and eat the lettuce. Venerable Siamese villas with cupolas like bowler hats squat cheek by jowl with neon-lit bars, cinemas and boxing pits. The jet age has made Bangkok the air hub of southern Asia, the halfway house for round-the-world trippers from the U.S. It is also rest and recreation for a carefully regulated 500 G.I.s at a time, on leave from Viet...
