America: Second in space, second in face transplants.
But seriously, the Cleveland Clinic seems to have been the site of numerous medical firsts. I wonder why they don't have the same name recognition as, say, Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins?

On topic: impressive.
Off topic: until today, I had no idea who Aaron Sorkin was, and upon seeing his picture, I thought he might be a huge douche. After reading his wiki profile, I retracted that notion a bit. And now I'm interested to see how he creates fast-paced dialogue with epic monologues for the story about how an internal messaging system launched from a university dormitory grew into an online enterprise worth as much as 15 billion dollars.
