Good Afternoon, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
Get used to being cautious-- that's the advice from the director of Homeland Security.
The F-B-I has issued a new terrorist alert, warning that another attack could possibly happen as early as this week.
Despite the warning, President Bush plans to attend tonight's World Series game in New York City.
Bush will throw out the first pitch.

Also in New York, health officials are awaiting test results which
could confirm whether a 61-year- old hospital worker has the city's first case
of inhaled anthrax.

Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York City is now closed
to patients after a supply room employee there contracted inhalation
anthrax. The 61-year-old woman has been hospitalized since Sunday and
is in very serious condition.

As a precaution we began interviewing last night all personnel at the

What remains a mystery though, is how the woman came into contact with
the deadly bacteria. Officials say she worked near the hospital
mailroom, but didnt ordinarily handle the mail. Some hospital patients
are nervous.

And in New Jersey, a similar situation. A 51-year-old woman who lived
near the Hamilton Township post office but did not work there has
been diagnosed with the skin form of anthrax. Officials say theyre
working on the assumption she contracted the disease from a piece of
mail.
(TRACK) LOCATOR: WASHINGTON, D.C.
Meantime in Washington, the FBI is once again warning Americans to be
on high alert again for a possible terrorist strike. While the Director
of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, says there are no specific threats, he
says terrorist acts are difficult to predict.
(SOT :12) Tom Ridge, Dir., Homeland Security
They would turn an envelope into a weapon of terror, they would turn a
commercial airliner into a missile. So who knows what evil - in what
way theyre going to promote that evil in the weeks or months ahead.

New Yorks Governor George Pataki is also responding to the new
terrorism alert. Hes ordered National Guard troops in and around New
York City to all be armed now. Before, only troops at airports and
nuclear plants were carrying weapons.

After ten years in the state senate, and three and a half as Virginia's attorney general, Republican candidate Mark Earley may find the next week his greatest political challenge yet.

Earley was born in Norfolk in 1954, the son of a sailor turned shipyward worker and a stay at home mom.
He was a studious kid and a student government president by the 8th grade, and a racial reconciler in high school.
He's a lifetime member of the N-double-ACP
At the College of William and Mary, Earley was an active Christian.
He majored in Religion, worked for the campus ministry after graduation, and spent two years as a missionary at the University of the Philippines in Manila.
It was there, when President Marcos jailed his political rival and declared martial law that Mark Earley melded his faith with his patriotism.

[runs= 16 ]
In the state senate, Earley led to victory an 18 year effort to require parental notification for teenagers getting abortions.
He won bi-partisan fans, shepherding a welfare reform compromise through the legislature.
His oratorical power and low key style made him an effective ally of George Allen.
He clearly winces at the failure of his political partner Jim Gilmore to get a budget passed this year.

As Attorney General, a mixed courtroom record is not his proudest accomplishment.
Recruiting 4,000 new mentors for young people is.
A little surgery to fix a droopy eyelid and some new contact lenses were the final touches on his road to the top.
This fall, much of his record and style were set aside to tout one issue: his resolute promise to hold the line on taxes.
Virginians will take the measure of the candidate in one week.
