...Marjorie LeMay, associate professor of Radiology, testified recently that scans of Hinckley's brain suggest strongly that he is schizophrenic. LeMay said the CAT scan of Hinckley's brain showed it to be shrunken to an unusual degree for someone his age. The brain abnormality, she added, is found in only two percent of the normal population, but in about one-third of all schizophrenics...
...Queen when she was bored or displeased was "Miss Piggyface." His indiscretion was so unwisely non-U that Shea might soon be persona non grata. It remained for the new Princess of Wales to set matters right. There was an unconfirmed report last week that a routine medical scan revealed Diana's royal infant-in-waiting is male.

...vulnerable, nothing equals that of a guest who stares straight at one's bookshelves.

Sauter and Co. have taken full advantage of the opportunity, but if you gave the committed...
...Scan these faces-young, feral, frightening-and look for clues. They are faces to be found at a municipal swimming pool, or bobbing asleep in the back row of a classroom, or peering through a pawnshop window, or avoiding the camera's eye on the 10 o'clock news. They are faces too tough to be scared and too unsure to be anything else. They hold mocking, omniscient mouths and a tough-guy stare that could burn a hole in an adult's best intentions. They are the faces of the young urban underclass...
