Prions are a type of defective proteins, that can cause normal proteins to turn into defective, infectious ones: prion, word that comes from the term "proteinaceous infectious particle"; prions can cause neurodegenerative diseases. Unfortunately, even after scientists identified prions as the causal agents of the "mad cow" disease and others like the "kuru" (discovered in New Guinea, amongst a tribe that practiced cannibalism) and the "scrapie", the authorities tried to hide the epidemic, they took too long to ban the feeding of animals with mixes that included proteins from infected animals, so if authorities had implemented more actions since at least 1993 perhaps the epidemic could have been controlled earlier, instead of almost 25 years after the disease was identified.
In this sense, the author takes us step by step in the process (over time) and illustrates how people got frustrated because of the reaction of the government: nothing was done about the disease until over ten years after its discovery.

Explanation:
The author of the text reveals that the musical "West Side Story" was extremely innovative, which justifies its success and influences all these years.
According to the author "West Side Story", just as "Romeu and Juliet" showed the forbidden love of two young people who were part of two different social groups (white and Latin), the plot unfolded as a modern-day turf war, introducing serious issues like gang violence and ethnic prejudice on Broadway. In addition, fast and efficient choreography and language deliberately incorporated the physicality and vernacular of street life.
However, the musical was not innovative in hiring dark-skinned actors.
