Russian scientists claim that man can increase his ability to see in the dark by 40 to 50%. They also claim that he can shorten the period of eye adaptation to darkness from half an hour (the usual time) to six minutes.

His symphony has never been played: "It's not necessary. I can hear it." After he gets his Ph.D., he hopes to study with Composer Paul Hindemith. Kennie is now the only outsider allowed to attend rehearsals of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra...
