...eared, big-eyed face of a bespectacled lemur: the Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. For four months he had been out of the news, drinking goat's milk, spinning cotton on his charkha, brooding as ever on the woes of India's Pariah Untouchables. Inside the bare parched skull "a tempest was raging." Finally, "the voice became insistent and said, 'Why don't you do it?' I resisted but in vain.'' Last week on Harijan (Untouchables' Day) Gandhi announced what "it" was: a three-week fast to force all India's temples...
...fluky goal before the half was out but McLean got one more chance to break the tie. When there were only seven minutes left to play, he sent in a corner kick, low and wide, to his centre, Werner ("Scotty") Nilsen. Nilsen received the pass on his broad Norwegian skull, gave it a resounding butt. The ball sailed past Chesney's long arm for the goal that ended the game, 2 to 1, gave the Westerners...
...three ribs on the fourth day, continued, and won. Another time I won with a broken collar bone that I smashed on the first night. But I took my prettiest spill right here in Boston. I was trying out the Arena track before a grind when I fractured my skull, broke my nose, cracked my collar bone, cut my face badly, and busted my jaw in three places. I didn't enter that race...
...frequently associated with epilepsy. Small whitish bodies called Pacchionian granulations grow out of the arachnoid (middle) membrane. Dr. Ney's belief is that man's upright posture conditions the growth of Pacchionian granulations. The growths frequently erode, in one direction through the dura mater and into the skull, in the other direction through the pia mater to the brain itself. Their final effect often is to peg the brain to the skull...
Special x-ray procedure, in which air is placed in the subdural space, will disclose such attachments and consequent stretching of the brain. In epileptics these unnatural attachments usually occur at the top of the skull. Dr. Ney cuts out the special section of bone, replaces the bone with a thick celluloid which the du Pouts make for him. The celluloid plate lowers the dome of the skull, prevents brain attachments, consequently prevents brain stretching. The operation is a plastic one. The scalp grows over the celluloid skull insert, which does not fracture, gives perfect brain protection...
