...University Hospitals in Madison, Wis., Psychiatrist Sherwyn M. Woods took a series of encephalograms and found them normal except for one thing: the brain-wave pattern showed high peaks, at rates of 6 and 14 per second. Existence of this "6 and 14 dysrhythmia" has been known for only a decade. While its significance is still disputed, Dr. Woods believes that it is often a sign of a personality disorder, virtually confined to children and adolescents, that he calls the "6 and 14 syndrome."

At ten minutes past midnight on Nov. 1, the first wave swept over England again, making almost as strong a record as on its first trip...
