These were symptoms of advanced Parkinsonism, a disorder (cause unknown) of nerve nuclei at the base of the brain. But each man had just been freed of such symptoms on the right side. For the first time, after more than five years of helplessness, each could write legibly and feed himself an in-flight meal.
