...fossils, many of which would probably be of interest to the Council. Only recently we discovered portions of a skeleton of a dinosaur which has been identified as that of a Trachadon-sometimes called the Duckbill Dinosaur. It is unusual because of the vast number of teeth in the skull-over 2,000-new ones coming out as the old ones wear down. This is the second or third skeleton of this type reported to have been found in South Dakota, the previous discoveries being by a Professor Cope. They are now in the American Museum of Natural History...
...central" theory supposes that cerebrospinal fluid periodically collects in the skull, causes pressure on the brain. A similar reaction might follow if the head arteries carried an extra amount of blood, or if the head veins emptied themselves too slowly...
...Migraine Feels. The brain feels as though a hammer were pounding on the skull, or as though a drill were grinding into the bone. Or an iron hoop seems to tighten around the head.

("Migraine" comes from Latin hemicrania, "half-head.") With many victims the pain shifts around, may even travel down to the neck, shoulders, arms. The skin, particularly the scalp, may be unusually sensitive. Touch, sound, sight...
...have made their patients comfortable by cutting certain nerves. But that procedure, says Dr. Riley, is dangerous if only because the surgeons do not know exactly what nerves are involved in the migraine complex. He suggests attacking the problem by trying to prevent convulsions of blood vessels within the skull. At the same time he is trying to establish a healthy balance among the migraine victim's hormones...
...lived on this continent during glacial times. Next month Dr. Jenks's Minnesota maid will be a cynosure at the Atlantic City gathering of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Trained eyes will understand why the anthropologists and paleontologists, who for weeks have been studying her skull with microscope and calipers, classify her as a Mongoloid type, more Eskimo than Indian. Professor Jenks puts her age at 17½ years. From a nick on the inner side of her shoulder blade he deduces the "murder." It may have been caused by a spear or arrow striking through...
