Britain's most distinguished expert on biological weapons, a mild, 59-year-old career bureaucrat of unblemished reputation, briefly rockets onto the national stage when he must tell a parliamentary committee about his contacts with a BBC journalist who may or may not have relied upon him to produce an incendiary story that challenged the integrity of the government. He appears strained while testifying - mumbling and shaking his head - denies being the source for the story, and complains about the experience afterwards, but the committee doesn't seem...

A bomb inside a rucksack she was carrying exploded in the street, killing a Federal...
...duress and social uncertainty, Veera refuses to dispense messages of false hope or make promises he can't keep. The audience has responded to his ruthlessly practical, no-nonsense approach. "When I first started this program in 1998, people thought I was aggressive and rude," recalls the former business journalist whose bookish appearance belies his swaggering on-air demeanor.
