Americans don't generate the headlines Europeans do (HUNDREDS CRUSHED IN SOCCER RIOT!), and given the tens of millions of parents who cheer on their kids, the number of sports-psychosis cases is low. But we can still fret when adults go nuts over what should be only a game...

The bacteria is "very potent and clearly produced by someone who knows what he or she is doing," said Senate leader Daschle. Those alarm bells were prematurely silenced, though, by Tom Ridge, the country's new Director of Homeland Security.
