Three doctors in Brighton, England, now think that it does. They have taken another short but promising step toward control of viral infections by using IDU against herpes simplex, the virus of fever blisters, in cases where the sores had broken out on the upper lip, nostril or cheek. Doctors usually dismiss cold sores as trivial, but the virus may cause a fatal inflammation if it spreads to the brain; it can cause blindness if it reaches the eyes. Some of the British patients already had corneal infections...
...first, the Brighton doctors report in the British Medical Journal, they tried hourly swabbing of cold sores with an IDU solution. Then they cut out the nighttime swabs to let the patients sleep. Finally the doctors switched to an ointment that was applied only four times a day. The results were equally good by all methods. The patients' recurrent cold sores had previously taken seven to 21 days to heal; now they cleared up in two to five days. Since anybody infected with herpes simplex usually carries the virus for life, though infection erupts only at intervals, the next...
Rare is the Briton who has not paused during a seaside holiday to dash off a "wish-you-were-here" note on one of those "naughty postcards."

Long before last week's annual Labor Party conference, there had been signs that Gaitskell, after a year of increasingly uncomfortable fence-sitting, had decided to come out against the Common Market. But as he rose in the vast seaside sports stadium at Brighton, he astonished his socialist "brothers" by the passion of his 84-minute speech. The middle-road intellectuals and union leaders who have shared his views and fought his battles sat back in ashen-faced disgust as Gaitskell, longtime champion of NATO and other internationalist policies, piped the party down the road...
...Spaak. one of the Common Market's founding fathers, told him: "Even if you win with this position, you'll lose three times over later." Said tough, astute Herbert Wehner. deputy chairman and top ideologist of West Germany's socialist party last week: "What happened at Brighton is the kind of thing that keeps Soviet hopes alive that the West can be divided after...
