Impressive as the performance of the Skate may be in remaining submerged for 31 days [June 9], this is not the record. In the summer of 1945 the German sub U-977, fitted with a snorkel, ran submerged for 66 days while escaping to Argentina from Norway. CHRISTOPHER CLAUSEN Los Altos, Calif...
...third-floor VIP suite where he recovered 21 months ago from ileitis. Next morning appeared three of the neurologists who were called in after his stroke-Georgetown's Dr. Francis M. Forster, Columbia's Dr. H. Houston Merritt, and Walter Reed's Lieut. Colonel Roy E. Clausen Jr. They ordered an electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram, spent 65 minutes studying the results and checking their patient. Verdict at tests' end: the President was completely recovered from the stroke; the defect in his speech had disappeared. Thereupon Walter Reed's most famed patient drove back to the White...

...Clausen offers his ritual bull's-eyes to Colquhoun, but later makes the agonized confession that he has been an all-night sucker for the beastly magic of a local witch doctor. Hoping to bridge the gulf between European and African knowledge, he has dabbled in mysterious rites (in one, a man was burned to death by no visible flame) and is now desperately afraid for his soul. The fate of this jungle Dr. Faustus is sealed in what the press calls "the great Clausen scandal." Kenya-raised Novelist Huxley (Red Strangers, The Walled City) has written a literate...
...such pilgrim-the book's narrator -is Andrew Colquhoun, a youngish Scots drifter eager to pluck the heart from Clausen's mystery, write his biography and perhaps thereby come to terms with his own restless nature. Also on the way to Clausen is an odd trio of characters: a tropical tycoon named Zuckermann, who is playing the white man's last rubber in the game of enlightened self-interest; his beautiful and enigmatic secretary. Gemma; and his top research man, a brilliant mixed-blood scientist who secretly aspires to be "a Napoleon of the black masses...
