Pilot studies in Massachusetts and Illinois of juvenile offenders indicate that many potential psychotics may be identifiable and curable while in their teens, and an important segment of the medical profession has not given up hope of finding the cure to psychosis in the chemistry of the brain. While science may never develop a foolproof psychiatric Geiger counter or a cerebral "Pap smear" for spotting every psychotic in advance, there is no doubt that far more...

Then he divides the bone lengthwise, leaving two pieces with half-thickness ends. He slides these pieces apart, lengthening the jawbone but leaving a space where the lower cut was made. Where nonalignment is too great to be corrected by an operation on the lower jaw alone, Dr. Obwegeser may move all or part of the upper jaw. With remarkable versatility, he can even move...
