:10:01
and possibly of all time.
:10:03
Fresh stories roll off
the press every day...
:10:06
about Zelig
and his puzzling condition.
:10:09
Although the doctors claim
to have the situation in hand...
:10:13
no two can agree
on a diagnosis.
:10:16
I'm convinced
it's glandular in nature...
:10:19
and although there's
no evidence of misfunction...
:10:21
further tests will show
a problem in the secretions.
:10:25
It's something he picked up
from eating Mexican food.
:10:28
This manifestation
is neurological in origin.
:10:31
This patient is suffering
from a brain tumor...
:10:34
and I should not be surprised
if within several weeks he died.
:10:39
We have not been able
to locate the tumor...
:10:43
but we're still looking.
:10:45
Ironically,
within two weeks' time...
:10:48
it is Dr. Birsky himself
who dies of a brain tumor.
:10:52
Leonard Zelig is fine.
:10:55
Throughout the weeks
of testing and speculation...
:10:58
Eudora Fletcher
begins to feel...
:11:00
that the patient
might be suffering...
:11:03
not from
a physiological disorder...
:11:05
but from a psychological one.
:11:07
It is Zelig's unstable makeup,
she suggests...
:11:11
that accounts
for his metamorphoses.
:11:13
The governing board of doctors
is hostile to her notion.
:11:18
They conclude
that Zelig's malady...
:11:20
can be traced to poor alignment
of the vertebrae.
:11:23
Tests prove them wrong...
:11:26
and cause a temporary problem
for the patient.
:11:31
Now the press and public
hang on every bit of news...
:11:35
thoroughly absorbed
in the real-life drama.
:11:38
The continuing saga
at Manhattan Hospital goes on.
:11:42
This morning, doctors report,
experiments were conducted.
:11:45
Several women were placed
in proximity to the subject...
:11:49
but no change occurred...
:11:51
Ieading authorities
to conclude...
:11:53
that the phenomenon
does not occur with women.
:11:54
Doctors will experiment
with a midget and a chicken.
