Traditionally one of the "inevitable" childhood fevers, measles is widely underrated as a health menace. For children under three and for adults, it is a threat to life itself; at any age it can cause brain inflammation, which now (since Salk vaccine) kills more victims than does polio and handicaps about as many by damaging the brain.

The Corporation prefers to let active professors use the expensive equipment, although it does allow the emeritus professor to use the laboratories if he can pay his own overhead...
