...little was known about how it infected mankind, or why the disease pursued such various courses. There was no vaccination against it and no drug treatment; X rays for diagnosis were still primitive, and medical thinking was full of superstitions about "hereditary taint."

In the past, disappointing performances have made the Winthrop opera a risky luxury for Gilbert and Sullivan fans. This year, Patience is a necessity...
