THIS BOY TICKS—A strange ticking noise, like that of the clock he is holding, emanates from the head of Jack Grant, 13, of Stockbridge, Ga. At times the sound may be heard as much as four inches away. Doctors are puzzled by the sound, which sometimes keeps the boy from sleeping. He and his parents are ready to do anything within reason to cure it.
