...drug, which was quickly administered to Byrd, has become a standard treatment for spinal-cord injuries in the U.S., and health authorities are studying proposals that would allow paramedics to inject the steroid at the scene of an accident. Just as important, says Bracken, methylprednisolone has erased the notion that these injuries are hopeless: "It's opened the door to many other studies that may lead to better recovery." Several groups are testing substances that provide the benefits of methylprednisolone without the side effects, which include depressing the immune system...
...Pedro (Colin Stokes) and his comrade-in-arms, Claudio (Mark Fish), inject a sinister tough into their otherwise straight-forward characters, rather complacently consigning a poor maiden to eternal shame.

...Anthony and Johanna, Colum Amory and Lizzy Marlantes manage to inject spirit into the naive young hero and ingenue. Amory has one of the strongest voices in the show and Marlantes sings prettily even if she doesn't quite hit all the high notes. They are both accomplished actors and the scene in which they plan Johanna's escape from the evil Judge Turpin is charming...
