Carter in turn spoke fondly of the traditional ties between Poland and the U.S., but the welcoming party seemed oddly unresponsive-almost hostile. The problem was that the President's message had been badly mangled by Steven Seymour, a freelance interpreter from New York City, hired by the State Department at $150 a day for the Polish leg of Carter's trip.

Turning to another unorthodox tactic, a Chicago doctor, Seymour Diamond, is treating migraines with biofeedback. Using machines that signal physical changes in the body with beeps or flashing lights, Diamond has been able to train some patients at his headache clinic to raise temperatures in the hand by as much as 10° to 15°.

Perhaps it is significant that among the many viruses that dogs harbor, one that causes distemper is a first cousin to that of the long-suspected human measles. Whether household pet dogs can ever be proved guilty of carrying an MS-related virus and what that virus may be are still open questions. Most veterinary authorities maintain...
