...government-appointed doctor says he has only an arrhythmia (an irregular pulse) caused by nervous tension. When he was accused of having beaten to death the Jewish boy, Eichmann furiously scribbled notes to his lawyer; his mouth twitched, and he ran his tongue over his teeth. At times, his facial tics seemed uncontrollable. He has obviously lost weight, and his pale blue eyes show anxiety and strain.

Another supposed cure has been the injection of alcohol into the nerves leading from the ear to the brain, but this sometimes causes facial paralysis. Now, in Edinburgh, the electrical engineering firm of Bruce Peebles & Co., Ltd. is perfecting an ultrasonic gun that doctors hope will cure crippling cases of Ménière's disease with less disastrous aftereffects...
