Head/Brain/Scull/lobotomy

Sir, -- According to qi.com, Sir Henry Head was the head of the journal Brain from 1905 to 1923. He was succeeded in 1923 by Russell Brain. I applaud the TSL for its efforts to continue this cranial serendipity by assigning a review of a book about the cruelty of the lobotomy procedure to Andrew Scull.
