DUBLIN, Calif. - "Dilbert" cartoonist Scott Adams, 49, was afflicted last week with Spasmodic Dysphonia, a mysterious disease in which parts of the brain controlling speech shut down or go haywire. Adams inexplicably lost his voice — except when speaking in rhyme or pinching his nose. Doctors have concluded that the illness was brought on by a curse placed on Adams by Endora, the mother-in-law in Bewitched.
