...passionate reader who sensed what was to come, Rubinstein last year went through all of Proust and Joyce's Ulysses ("By Jove, I had it, didn't I?"). He says his eye condition cannot be cured by surgery: "It is final, you see. But I am an optimist. I love life tremendously. I think to myself, what will I do with my time...
