...anxiety have a greater effect on stomach contractions? Medical researchers trying to answer these questions have been hampered by difficulty in observing what goes on inside the gut. Last week a team of U.C.L.A. psychologists studying automatic nervous reactions announced a compact solution to the problem: a plastic-coated magnet no bigger than a small medicine capsule...
...pinworm. Estimated schistosomiasis cases in New York City, 70,000; in Chicago, 2,200. ¶When a small boy swallowed a nail which lodged in the jejunum (second part of the small bowel), Atlanta's Dr. Murdock Equen made him swallow a tiny but powerful Alnico permanent magnet attached to a string.

Ruling out eyesores meant redesigning many installations. For example, physicists assumed that the control room for the synchrocyclotron should be perched atop the giant magnet; Steiger insisted that, for esthetic reasons, the controls should be in a shielded room on the ground floor, adjacent to the magnet. "There's no reason," he explains, "why modern technical requirements should degenerate architecture...
