Drugs will play an even greater role in the near future, says Dr. Valentin Fuster, director of the Cardiovascular Institute at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. For one thing, the wealth of data coming out of the human-genome project will allow physicians to tailor pharmaceutical treatments to an individual's specific genetic profile in ways that have never before been possible. For another, men and women at risk of developing heart disease are being identified at earlier and earlier stages of their condition, a situation in which drug therapy presents fewer risks than surgery...
...figure out just who will replace the authoritarian president. New elections are scheduled for next April, but there?s no clear line of succession before then.

Toub, a former Din and Tonic and veteran of Harvard theater, defines the meaning of power in his performance. Highly impassioned by goals of a better future for all, Toub...
...strength of the production undoubtedly also lies in its supporting cast. Sarah Eno '03 and Ashley McCants '02 deserve special praise for their resounding performances as Valentin's love Marta and Molina's mother. Their duet in "Dear One" is especially unforgettable. Brian Gatten too demands an awesome presence on stage as the Warden. Kudos also to Scott Rowen '02 and Adam Robbins '00 for strong performances...
