[0:00] 45 seconds. California lovers lane,
[0:03] suits and cups. Former WorldCom
[0:06] executives are arrested for allegedly
[0:08] ripping off investors. And the mammogram
[0:11] debate. What a major new study says

[0:24] This is the CBS Evening News with Dan
[0:28] Rather.
[0:29] Good evening. Dan is away tonight. I'm
[0:31] Bob Schaefer. Nearly a year now after
[0:34] anthrax sent through the mail, killed
[0:36] five people, and still no suspect. But
[0:39] today, agents searched the apartment of
[0:41] a former government researcher who once

[1:36] FBI isn't saying more.
[1:37] >> We're making progress in the case. Uh,
[1:39] but beyond that, I can't comment on uh
[1:41] the ongoing activities of the
