So I continue to class it as a dangerous fever, which gives the patient a temporary spurt but quickly saps his strength...
...that causes schistosomiasis, a disease on the rampage in Egypt, parasitologists are growing 20 varieties of snails in order to test 3,000 chemicals that might kill the fluke.

Then he was off to Capitol Hill for a meeting with Lyndon Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield in the Vice President's office. After lunching on the run, O'Brien talked to a dozen Congressmen, examined the fever charts of a dozen pending bills.
