...microorganism so it?s invisible to the naked eye. Even the infectious dose, which is between 8,000 and 10,000 spores, is smaller than a speck of dust. It?s totally odorless and tasteless as well. There are other ways to get anthrax, via the skin, for example, but the inhaled version is the most lethal...
Nobody would mistake Bubble Boy, the Disney Touchstone movie that opened last week, for high art. It's full of the tasteless humor and crude pratfalls that appeal to fifth-grade boys. Critics have called it a "gross-out comedy." But at least one boy was not amused. "I was just furious," says Jason Shuman, 10, of Sudbury, Mass. "I thought it was a movie that shouldn't have been out in the first place." No wonder.

BJORK did lay an egg on the red carpet, and we gazed upon an uncharacteristically lucid BOB DYLAN, his majestic cragginess beamed via satellite from Australia. But most of the surreal celebrity high jinks were reserved for the Vanity Fair postparty at Mortons, where a single terrorist bomb could have instantly made Drew Carey the most powerful man in show business. At the bash, TOM CRUISE clung to his publicist, and Calista Flockhart, Lucy Liu and Lara Flynn Boyle formed the world's skinniest posse...
