Three Harvard undergraduates are discussing the recent election. They talk about the media coverage, the opinions of their family members, and most importantly, the new president himself. But Daniel E. Lage ’10, Andrew Velo ’10, and Daniel Balmori ’10 are not talking about the future resident of the White House. Instead, the president they are concerned with will inhabit the Presidential Palace over 1,400 miles away in Havana, Cuba.Though none of them has ever actually set foot on Cuban soil, Lage, Velo, and Balmori care deeply about the island?...
...perestroika-style noises since taking over as interim President after Fidel underwent major intestinal surgery 18 months ago. As a result, now that Raul has full presidential powers, many Cuba watchers had expected younger faces to emerge - widely anticipating, for example, that Raul's reform-minded economy czar, Carlos Lage, who in relative Cuban terms is a positively teen-aged 56, would become First Vice President.

Current Vice President Carlos Lage, 56, who shares Raul's less ideological economic policy vision, stands to tower over diminished fidelistas like Alarcon and Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque. Perez, 42, once considered a leader of the youthful fidelista hardliners known as los Taliban, has seen his stature particularly reduced under Raul - to the point that he was compelled late last year to endorse Cuba's acceptance of an international human rights accord, something Fidel had criticized as a violation of the island's sovereignty but which Raul had decided was necessary to begin thawing relations with...
Tamarin health is checked weekly by veterinarians from Harvard’s Animal Resources Center and daily by the animal care staff, who look for signs of stress such as weight loss or pacing back and forth, according to Arthur L. Lage, the director of Harvard’s Animal Resources Center...
