[0:04] everybody loves Raymond. Next,
[0:09] a fresh new terror alert tonight. The
[0:11] government says there is quote credible
[0:13] evidence the US may be the target of
[0:15] another attack over the next week. A new
[0:19] case of anthrax today, even as health
[0:21] officials insist, "Your mail is probably
