One of them, sprung on Dean in his private staff grilling, was whether he had used Nixon campaign funds to finance his honeymoon last fall.

Given that qualification, the procedure seems to be effective. A 70-year-old woman, unwilling to submit to conventional surgery for a brain tumor, underwent magnetic surgery in March. Rand cannot find the tumor with X rays any longer, and although he will not say that the growth has disappeared, there is good reason to believe that it has at least shrunk.
