[0:19] Thanks for watching the area's number

[0:32] America on alert. New anthrax detections
[0:35] in New York and Nevada. Those who may
[0:38] have been exposed now being treated. As
[0:40] investigations move forward, doctors say
[0:43] there is not a public health risk.
[0:45] Fortunately, an anthrax attack is
[0:48] self-limiting in that it is not
[0:50] contagious. The US resumes air raids in
