The first is “Harrison Bergeron”, which depicts a future America where government-mandated equality and mediocrity is enforced by electronic devices that interrupt human thoughts lasting more than a mandated length of time. The second story is “Report On The Barnhouse Effect”, in which a professor discovers amazing powers of the human mind. The professor disappears after the military attempts to harness his abilities as a weapon. Both stories appear in a collection of Vonnegut short stories called “Welcome To The Monkey House” (1968), which you ought to be able to find in a local public library or online. God help us all!
