Four years later, to say that Saldana’s hard work has paid off is an understatement of the highest order. The stomping, swaying sound he began to perfect in his bedroom with part-time Leverett House dishwasher Victor Cabrera has made them both into global stars—by far the biggest musical success stories to emerge from Harvard in recent years, dwarfing the profiles of student artists...
...bladder pressure and possible kidney damage, were involved in the study. Four years ago, they became the world’s first patients to receive laboratory-grown organs, and have been closely monitored by researchers to ensure the organs were accepted by the body. While the results were not perfect, the procedure has changed the patients’ lives. “They’re more socially acceptable,” said Alan B.

A Romney spokesman said yesterday that the governor will sign the bill. “This is essentially a not-perfect bill but almost a political miracle in today’s climate,” said Blendon. The governor has the power to veto individual elements of the bill, including the provision fining businesses that fail to insure their workers.
