To brief his machine on the cornea, Dr. Paycha fed it a whole textbook plus references to articles in medical journals. Next project: glaucoma and diseases of the iris. Inventor Paycha believes his robot will work for any organ. His ultimate...

Bess "almost froze to death" in unheated springtime Europe, now has a touch of arthritis...
