He wondered if the same process might not be used to force the bullet fragment within Barrios' brain into a safe spot in the soft tissue surrounding the upper ventricle.

Recently, Welsh-born Physicist Edward Pierce decided to check out Lenard's theory that each waterdrop's skin of negative ions is stripped off and discharged into the atmosphere as the drop breaks up when it hits a surface. At first, Pierce haunted waterfalls in the Yosemite Valley. Suddenly he realized that "many of Lenard's experiments could be performed in a bathroom, and have indeed been constantly operating in American bathrooms...
