Dennis Conrow produces the nationally distributed literary program New Letters on the Air, based in Kansas City, Missouri. He is able to perform the following miracles on demand: turning wine into 95% pure water in under two hours; harnessing electricity from the ether in selected, properly-wired locations; and providing, at his own expense, life-saving carbon dioxide to plants and trees everywhere. In contrast to many miracle-workers, Conrow is entirely visible to the naked eye all of the time, except when he is in disguise.
