Color Test. The VA team went to work last Dec. 7. A sweeping cut through the scalp from behind the left ear to the crown, and then another to the forehead, exposed the skull. Next the surgeons sawed through the bone and lifted a big flap to expose the brain. Then, wielding an electric cautery, they spent one hour and 50 minutes cutting away the diseased hemisphere-from the neocortex, the control center for man's most civilized mental processes, down to the ancient part of the brain, where reflexive and instinctual functions are mediated. The surgeons put nothing...
...basic cause of tic douloureux, or 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. In more severe cases -and most victims get progressively worse-pains may recur several times a minute for hours or days, and leave a continuous "background...
...Ananda, only 20, returned to Bangkok to be crowned King. His reign lasted just six months. Early one morning he was found dead with a bullet in his forehead. The gun was his own, but whether he or someone else pulled the trigger has never been known to the public.

...operation was a success. For five rounds, while Cooper lunged awkwardly about the outdoor ring, Clay concentrated his attack on Henry's left eyebrow. By the end of the fifth, Cooper's forehead was pink and swollen, and in the sixth it turned bright crimson. Lashing out with a classic one-two combination, Cassius opened up a gash so bloody one awed onlooker insisted that Cooper must be a bar-sinister Alfonso. The referee stopped the fight at 1 min. 38 sec. of the sixth round, and no more than a minute later Champion Clay was already announcing...
Stunted Redwood. It was the only round he won. Landing five punches for every one he took, Clay bounced jab after jab off Chuvalo's unguarded forehead; his slashing right raised big pink lumps on the Canadian's pudgy face. In the eleventh round, Cassius staggered Chuvalo with a flurry of combinations; in the 13th, he landed at least 30 solid punches-left jabs, left hooks, straight rights, right uppercuts. By the end of the 15th round, Chuvalo's eyes were slits; he was cut on the scalp and right eyebrow, and blood was trickling from...
