not successful, the escrowed
money will be returned

Organizing Committee, Ladies
and Gentlemen;

who devotes his life to promoting
modern neurosugical practice,
especially in developing
countries. He used to travel to
several countries all over the
world, exploring by himself
neurosurgical status in those
countries. Professor Bucy would
then proceed to help improve
their standard of neurosurgery
either by admitting young
surgeons into training programs
under his own supervision, or by
participating in local

“Thailand was one of those

considerable damage. Two or

the incident, found five empty
egg cartons on the street in front
of the house. The origin of the
eggs was traced to a local store
and the clerk recalled selling
three dozen eggs each to two
