Measles was once a disease that just about every child was expected to catch, but since mass immunization began in 1963 it has been practically forgotten. Still, from time to time, small outbreaks continue to paint medical maps with red spots like those of the disease itself. Since last November 1,500 cases have been reported in the Houston area alone, vs. 2,900 in the entire nation all last year.

Randall Duk Kim has wit and charm as Kobart's newly disobedient husband, but in a ghastly miscalculation, his Asian features have been caked with ruddy makeup so thick it resembles house paint. The show, superbly revived in London in 1986, is a souffle that never quite rises at A.C.T. If it has taken the new managers a while to live down Ball's legacy, it may take longer for them to live...
