AIDS drug could help all groups
The Associated Press
Researchers on both studies cautioned that their reviews of the drug AZT were limited and urged further study.
CHICAGO — The country's most widely used drug to combat AIDS appears to work as well for women and minorities as it does for white men, according to two studies.
The results should calm some fears raised earlier this year by a government study suggesting that A2T might be less effective for some groups, said Dr. Hickey of the University of new reports in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association.
AZT's effectiveness across racial, ethnic and gender lines is important because minorities and women represent a growing number of AIDS cases. While newly acquired infections with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, in this country may have to stabilize or declined in homosexual men, they have not subsided in minorities and women, researchers said.
Playwright returns to Lawrence with 'Brigadista'
Kansan staff writer
A playwright who grew up in Lawrence will return this week with her play "Brigidista," which details her experience in Nicaragua during the 1990 elections.
The play, which will run tonight and tomor-
day at Massachusetts St., was written by Tanya Saffer.
Shaffer lived in Lawrence with her family before beginning the theater career in San Francisco in 1984. Her father, Harry Shaffer, is a KU professor emeritus of economics and professor of Soviet and Eastern European studies
"I knew that I wanted to produce my own theater," Tanya Shafer said. "Bridistada' is her second large project. She brought a one-woman show to Lawrence 2½ years ago.
The play's main character joins a coffee brigade — a chance for volunteers to help the Nicaraguan people harvest coffee during the difficult political times. Shaffer said
The military conflict between the Sandinistas and the anti-Sandinista contra guerrillas began in 1983.
Because the country was in a civil war, the
Nicaraguan people could not easily harvest their coffee crop, which was economically vital to the country.
She said the female character in the play was created, in part, from her own personal experiences in the country.
"Actually there is a lot of humor in it, even though there is a serious subject underlying it," Shaffer said.
Richard Talavaera, an actor from San Francisco, plays several roles, including a president of a cooperative in Nicaragua. He said the play had changed since Shaffer thought of the
"I believe she thought the Sandinistas would win." he said.
idea.
The incumbent Sandinistas were defeated in the 1990 U.S.-supported free elections in Nicaragua.
"Brigidista" will be performed at 8 p.m.
today and tomorrow at Liberty Hall. Tickets are $7 for the general public and $5 for students and senior citizens.
Talvavera said the group would perform in Lawrence as the final stop in a 21-city tour that began in New York.
