Less obvious errors, or outright evasions, are searched out after the returns have been routed to three data-processing service centers across the U.S. There returns are translated onto a punch card and checked by machine for arithmetic accuracy. The U.S. taxpayer is pretty punk at adding and subtracting: almost 2,400,000 errors were caught last year.

The jelly-like brain does not accelerate as fast as the rigid skull, so part of the brain is in effect struck by bone. Usually the effect is no worse than that produced when any fleshy part of the body is hit with a hard object: a bruise, from the breaking of minute blood vessels. A long succession of moderate contusions (bruises), which cause...
