...virus, whether biological or electronic, is basically an information disorder. Biological viruses are tiny scraps of genetic code -- DNA or RNA -- that can take over the machinery of a living cell and trick it into making thousands of flawless replicas of the original virus.

Lodged in a host computer, the typical virus takes temporary control of the computer's disk operating system. Then, whenever the infected computer comes in contact with an uninfected piece of software, a fresh copy...

Throw in bottomless stamina, seamless charm and flawless news judgment, and the portrait of the perfect producer begins to emerge. CBS News's Susan Zirinsky may not have those physical characteristics (she stands 5 ft. 1 1/2 in. in her sneakers), but she's got the rest down cold. In fact, when Film Director James Brooks needed a model for Holly Hunter's role in Broadcast News, he chose...
