...least four herpes vaccines are under development. Last week ground was broken for a new facility at Porton Down in England that will produce a newly developed vaccine for large-scale, controlled testing. The vaccine, created by a team at the University of Birmingham under Scottish Virologist Gordon Skinner, has already passed preliminary trials with impressive results. It was tested over a period ranging from four months to three years on 300 people who were frequently exposed to herpes because their sexual partners had the disease; only two developed the infection...
...Party Leader David Steel, 45, who has a safe seat, made up for Jenkins' absence, gathering mileage for the Alliance as he traveled the country in his colorful campaign "battlebus." "What chance is there that a new Britain can be built by the old parties," he asked a Scottish audience, "one of whom draws its inspiration from the decaying bones of Karl Marx in Highgate Cemetery and the other from the widow's weeds of Queen Victoria...

Bacon, a notably venturesome and versatile young actor, wavers in and out of a Scottish brogue but ably blends charm, petulance, wit and selfishness as a would-be artist who counts on his talent to lift him up. Penn persuasively portrays a clever lad who is so defeated that he cannot imagine a light, or even an end to the tunnel. The two young men's high-kicking, cruel humor works better in the play's free-form first act than in the second, which is overladen with plot. But at every moment they capture the futile bravado...
