...first sight, especially due to its placement near some of Kelly's transfers of window frames, one might mistake Study for Seaweed for window glass being broken by the intrusive head of a nail or perhaps the artist's pencil. In fact, it is sometimes extremely difficult to discern the content of these paintings. But that is not the point. You see, Kelly added the descriptive names to these works as an afterthought years later...
...perhaps the greatest disappointmentwas the inability to clearly discern the wordsbeing sung, which, even if a person doesn'tunderstand a word of Italian is vital to the fullenjoyment of the opera and perhaps even moreimportant in that scenario. Although an equalquality of clarity in comparison to CD studioversions cannot be justly expected, it was shownthat certain voices were more fully comprehendiblethan others.

As for "andro," whatever else it does, it can't help a player's timing, his hand-eye coordination, his ability to discern a slider from a splitter. But even if andro improved his power by an unlikely, oh, 5%, then instead of 70 home runs, McGwire this year would have hit... maybe 67. Take 5% off a 450-ft. missile, and you've got a 427.5-ft. missile--long enough to clear...
