KAMEO: ELEMENTS OF POWER Kameo is the name of a flirty little fairy who lives in a surreal, candy-colored never-never land. She doesn't look as though she could take on an Olsen twin, let alone the monsters marauding through her homeland, but fortunately she can transform into 10 different elemental warriors, including a flower with a very nasty attitude.

"And the scientific community is increasingly concerned by a new influenza virus known as H5N1-or avian flu-that is now spreading through bird populations across Asia, and has recently reached Europe." Bush's Homeland Security Council now includes a Special Assistant to the President for Biological Defense Policy. That official, Rajeev Venkayya, held a briefing for reporters on "Safeguarding America Against Pandemic Influenza." In conjunction with Bush's speech, the White House published a red, white and blue booklet, "National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza," which...
