...Overall, this has been a tough year as far as West Nile virus is concerned; when it first appeared during the summer of 1999, it was contained to New York City, Connecticut and New Jersey. Since then, cases have sprung up around the country, as far west as South Dakota and in southern states like Florida. This year, the CDC has confirmed more than 600 cases of West Nile Virus; 31 of them have been fatal. Between 1999 and 2001, there were 18 deaths linked to the virus...

Last week it struck with a vengeance in Louisiana, infecting at least 58 residents and killing four--prompting Governor Mike Foster to declare a statewide emergency...
...largest voting-rights lawsuit in U.S. history is expected to be filed this week in South Dakota, and it could have an impact on a closely watched Senate race this fall. Four Lakota Indians are challenging more than 600 election statutes that they say may have helped stymie the political power of the state's large Native American population. The suit will contest voting regulations in two overwhelmingly Indian counties on the grounds that the state failed to clear them with the Justice Department as required by the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The tactics being challenged include some targeted...
