Strauss
dealt
largely
with
the
theory
and
techniques
of
neurosurgery
,
describing
in
detail
how
pioneer
studies
on
the
mapping
of
hormone
control
centers
enabled
him
to
isolate
and
stimulate
these
centers
while
at
the
same
time
removing
the
hormone
-
inhibitor
producing
portion
of
the
cortex
.
He
explained
the
enzyme
-
block
theory
and
went
on
to
describe
my
physical
condition
before
and
after
sur
gery
.
Photographs
(
I
didn
’
t
know
they
had
been
taken
)
were
passed
around
and
commented
on
,
and
I
could
see
by
the
nods
and
smiles
that
most
people
there
agreed
with
him
that
the
"
dull
,
vacuous
facial
expression
"
had
been
transformed
into
an
"
alert
,
intelligent
appearance
.
"
He
also
discussed
in
detail
the
pertinent
aspects
of
our
therapy
ses
sions
—
especially
my
changing
attitudes
toward
free
asso
ciation
on
the
couch
.
I
had
come
there
as
part
of
a
scientific
presentation
,
and
I
had
expected
to
be
put
on
exhibition
,
but
everyone
kept
talking
about
me
as
if
I
were
some
kind
of
newly
cre
ated
thing
they
were
presenting
to
the
scientific
world
.
No
one
in
this
room
considered
me
an
individual
—
a
human
being
.
The
constant
juxtaposition
of
"
Algernon
and
Char
lie
,
"
and
"
Charlie
and
Algernon
,
"
made
it
clear
that
they
thought
of
both
of
us
as
a
couple
of
experimental
animals
who
had
no
existence
outside
the
laboratory
.
But
,
aside
from
my
anger
,
I
couldn
’
t
get
it
out
of
my
mind
that
some
thing
was
wrong
.
Finally
,
it
was
Nemur
’
s
turn
to
speak
—
to
sum
it
all
up
as
the
head
of
the
project
—
to
take
the
spotlight
as
the
au
thor
of
a
brilliant
experiment
.
This
was
the
day
he
had
been
waiting
for
.
He
was
impressive
as
he
stood
up
there
on
the
plat
form
,
and
,
as
he
spoke
,
I
found
myself
nodding
with
him
,
agreeing
with
things
I
knew
to
be
true
.
The
testing
,
the
ex
periment
,
the
surgery
,
and
my
subsequent
mental
develop
ment
were
described
at
length
,
and
his
talk
was
enlivened
by
quotations
from
my
progress
reports
.
More
than
once
I
found
myself
hearing
something
personal
or
foolish
read
to
this
audience
.
Thank
God
I
had
been
careful
to
keep
most
of
the
details
about
Alice
and
myself
in
my
private
file
.
Then
,
at
one
point
in
his
summary
,
he
said
it
:
"
We
who
have
worked
on
this
project
at
Beekman
University
have
the
satisfaction
of
knowing
we
have
taken
one
of
na
ture
’
s
mistakes
and
by
our
new
techniques
created
a
supe
rior
human
being
.
When
Charlie
came
to
us
he
was
outside
of
society
,
alone
in
a
great
city
without
friends
or
relatives
to
care
about
him
,
without
the
mental
equipment
to
live
a
normal
life
.
No
past
,
no
contact
with
the
present
,
no
hope
for
the
future
.
It
might
be
said
that
Charlie
Gor
don
did
not
really
exist
before
this
experiment
.
.
.
.
"
I
don
’
t
know
why
I
resented
it
so
intensely
to
have
them
think
of
me
as
something
newly
minted
in
their
pri
vate
treasury
,
but
it
was
—
I
am
certain
—
echoes
of
that
idea
that
had
been
sounding
in
the
chambers
of
my
mind
from
the
time
we
had
arrived
in
Chicago
.
I
wanted
to
get
up
and
show
everyone
what
a
fool
he
was
,
to
shout
at
him
:
I
’
m
a
human
being
,
a
person
—
with
parents
and
memories
and
a
history
—
and
I
was
before
you
ever
wheeled
me
into
that
operating
room
!
At
the
same
time
deep
in
the
heat
of
my
anger
there
was
forged
an
overwhelming
insight
into
the
thing
that
had
disturbed
me
when
Strauss
spoke
and
again
when
Nemur
amplified
his
data
.
They
had
made
a
mistake
—
of
course
!
The
statistical
evaluation
of
the
waiting
period
necessary
to
prove
the
permanence
of
the
change
had
been
based
on
ear
lier
experiments
in
the
field
of
mental
development
and
learning
,
on
waiting
periods
with
normally
dull
or
nor
mally
intelligent
animals
.
But
it
was
obvious
that
the
wait
ing
period
would
have
to
be
extended
in
those
cases
where
an
animals
intelligence
had
been
increased
two
or
three
times
.
Nemur
’
s
conclusions
had
been
premature
.
For
both
Algernon
and
myself
,
it
would
take
more
time
to
see
if
this
change
would
stick
The
professors
had
made
a
mistake
,
and
no
one
else
had
caught
it
.
I
wanted
to
jump
up
and
tell
them
,
but
I
couldn
’
t
move
.
Like
Algernon
,
I
found
my
self
behind
the
mesh
of
the
cage
they
had
built
around
me
.
