...interval between pulses, or with the pulse altered-or both. Ground-based radars that decipher the new signal are likely to locate their target in the wrong part of the sky. As one electronics expert told Aviation Week, the phony echoes can give a radar "a bad case of schizophrenia...
...Well later on in the book. These are signs that I believe, are clinical symptoms of psychosis or schizophrenia. And what I have done by setting up another person in his head--which is the one that wants to kick Kagle, it's not him--it's almost suggesting the idea of a split personality, although it's not.

And although the term, coined by President Agassiz, was used by almost no one else, it foreshadowed the course of the alliance between the two bastions of higher education--the one for men and the one for women--and the dubious position held by Radcliffe women throughout the history of the school...

Now a University of Chicago research team reports that it has found a way, almost as simple as the hammer-and-knee-jerk reflex test, to do both. The test involves observing the patient's eye movements as he follows the swing of a pendulum...

It is also impaired, but usually not so conspicuously, in close blood relatives (fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers) of patients-a significant finding, for although schizophrenia is not directly inherited, it tends to run in families. If psychiatrists can identify susceptible individuals in the first stages of the disorder, they may begin effective drug treatment early enough to abort the severest forms of schizophrenia...
