Answering Althusser's cry for help, "Normale Sup's" school physician discovered Hélène Althusser, 70, dead on their bedroom floor across the courtyard. An autopsy next day disclosed that she had indeed been murdered: her larynx was fractured and her thyroid gland damaged, common indications of strangulation. But before police could question Althusser, he was hustled off to a psychiatric hospital. During the past few years, he has suffered from increasingly serious bouts of depression, to the point that he was unable to teach this fall...
Strander has also used IF with seven children who have an appalling condition called juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis. In this disease, noncancerous, wartlike growths cover the vocal cords of the victim, sometimes filling up the entire larynx so that the child can barely breathe.

The reason is that the tenor voice is an unnatural one, especially in the rarefied range above the staff?the four or five notes from G to high C or D. For a male singer to reach such heights while retaining all the power and virility of his lower range?and, preferably, subordinating the sheer physical feat...
