...exercise. In 2002, Reeve stunned the medical world with the news that he had regained some sensation over 70% of his body and could move most of his joints underwater. His doctors credited the turnaround to long hours of assisted exercise, particularly a regime of electrical stimulation that causes rhythmic contractions of muscles, allowing patients to ride a stationary bicycle and operate other equipment. Paralyzed animals show growth in spinal nerves after electrical exercise, and that may be what happened in Reeve's body...
...role Mayer has honed to perfection. Salvatierra’s roommate, Mark L. Hill ’05, notices “a lot of the singer/songwriter influence in his music—a little more melodic than some of those guys are, maybe not as rhythmic.” Hill, who plays the guitar and mandolin and often jams with Salvatierra, is honest about his friend’s chances at success in the music world. “Two years ago I would have said he didn’t have a shot just because his music...
...political antics made little sense to Wania Monteiro, an 18-year-old from Cape Verde, one of the few residents of her African island nation to devote her life to tossing ribbons, hoops, clubs and rubber balls.

A heady mélange that spans infectious Afro-pop, bluesy grooves, hip-hop and a mosaic of traditional genres. That...
...sick of rap, grunge and heavy metal, Chip Davis could be your musicmeister. You may not have heard of him, but his uplifting, rhythmic arrangements are some of the most listened-to music in America. Sales of Mannheim Steamroller albums, which feature instruments from harpsichord to synthesizer, with a heavy dose of strings, are past the 32 million--album mark, and that's not even counting 10 million other records Davis sold in the 1970s after he co-wrote a sound track for the hit movie Convoy, starring Kris Kristofferson. In the past 15 years, Davis has racked up more...
