'Christopher Reeve, who can breathe on his own for 15-minute stretches after experimental surgery to implant electrodes that stimulate the muscles in his diaphragm, told reporters today that he had just had a remarkable experience.' 'Breathing through his nose, instead of through the hole in his throat required by his ventilator, Mr. Reeve was able to identify various smells - an orange, a chocolate-chip cookie, a mint and coffee - for the first time in the eight years since a horseback riding accident left him paralyzed from the neck down.' '"I actually woke up and smelled the coffee," he told a news conference at University Hospitals of Cleveland, where the operation was performed on Feb. 28.'
