Celimene's many lovers are a sign of the fast-moving times, and her role as hostess, a nod to women's greater independence after the War. The most exciting new feature of the play however, comes at the end of the second act. The scene shifts continually from Celimene's apartment to Alceste and Arsinoe.

The week before, the full FDA had given the nod to another anti-rheumatoid arthritis drug called Arava. Next month the agency will assess a promising blood-filtration device that clears the body of arthritis-promoting substances the same way kidney dialysis cleans the blood of toxins. Within a few months the FDA will also consider a new class of anti-inflammatories called COX-2 inhibitors (a.k.a. "super aspirin") that will attack arthritis pain.
