...cost of maintaining the site is only in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, says Los Alamos executive Allen Morris. Still, he says, "we're running on vapor." Barack Obama--who helped win Senate approval for $3.9 billion in flu preparedness and response plans and wants Bush to appoint a flu czar "so that things like this don't slip through the cracks"--says that making the site subscription-based only is "an example of the insufficient investment" in U.S. readiness for a pandemic. Meanwhile, there are new reminders that birds--and viruses--don't respect borders...

CiC--following on Lost, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy--was an immediate hit for the resurgent network. But creator Rod Lurie was having trouble with the grind of TV production. He was producing, writing and directing and was badly bogged down in minutiae. Scripts came...
...show differs from the policy-heavy West Wing in that it focuses more on the President's juggling of work and family. In one scene, Allen's husband (Kyle Secor) asks the harried head of state whether she has seen their daughter's math workbook. "Under the portrait of Coolidge," Allen says. The show is really more about a working mom than a woman politician. Indeed, Lurie says Allen was inspired mainly by his mother Tamar, a successful real estate agent. The show is apolitical to a fault: President Allen is an Independent and has a knack for taking tough...
