...diagnosed with pneumonia - the sort of severe respiratory disease that could be confused with bird flu - are now immediately tested for bird flu. Their blood samples, nasal swabs and chest X-rays are double-checked for the H5N1 virus at sophisticated labs in Bangkok and Atlanta, allowing doctors to catch an outbreak almost before it begins. Yet even these defenses are not bulletproof. Last fall, after more than a year without any human H5N1 cases, five Thais were infected, and the disease flared up again among poultry. Critics charged the government had let down its guard, but William Aldis...
HUSTLE AMC, SATURDAYS, 10 P.M. E.T. This unapologetically slight con drama is a chrome-plated time machine back to the mid-'60s.

...when most of Wall Street is winding down, Walter Zimmermann begins a high-stakes, high-wire act conducted live before a paying audience. About 200 institutional investors?including airlines and oil companies?shell out up to $3,000 a month to catch his daily webcast on the volatile energy markets, a performance that can move hundreds of millions of dollars. "I'm not paid to be wrong?I can tell you that," Zimmermann says. But as he clicks through dozens of screens and graphics on three computers, he's the picture of focused calm. Zimmermann, 54, watched most...
