DUBLIN, Calif. - A balding, bespectacled working stiff inexplicably loses his voice except when speaking in rhyme or pinching his nose. It may sound like a farcical plot for a popular cartoon satirizing American office culture, but "Dilbert" cartoonist Scott Adams says he recovered less than a week ago from just such an affliction.
Adams, 49, appears to be a rare example of someone who has largely but not totally recovered from Spasmodic Dysphonia, a mysterious disease in which parts of the brain controlling speech shut down or go haywire.
