Insiders say King Hussein struck up a warm friendship with Hussein Kamel about a year ago when the Iraqi commander underwent surgery in Amman for the removal of a noncancerous brain tumor.

But what Elliot lost, psychological testing revealed, was the ability to experience emotion. While the amygdala does process fear, his doctors argue from the example of Elliot and the other patients that other parts of the brain...
