...hurry call to London that brought 500 more Tommies to reinforce the troops already on hand. Still the killing went on. At Bachelor's Adventure, a predominantly Negro village 14 miles from Georgetown, Negroes took up spears and pitchforks, began attacking Indians and burning their homes.

The pulses pass through a transducer, a combined transmitter-receiver the size of a microphone, which may be simply moistened with water and held against a patient's skull. For a pregnant woman, the transducer is held against the abdomen, which is smeared with light...
