Seth: Mr. Devor's statistics were obtained from a list which apparently he got from Dr. Iacono. I am not sure of the validity of the sampling (and Vern D. wasn't, either), but they seemed to be the "new-style" pallidotomy. I am "out the door" to the airport to attend a neurosurgical meeting in our state, and I hope that perhaps Dr. Iacono will be there. If so, I will make sure to try and discuss this with him. If he is there, and if we get a chance to talk, I will report the results when I return next week. Best, Bob -- ******************************************************** Robert A. Fink, M.
