((The war on terrorism widens by the day. On the battlefield. And here at home. FRIEND OF VICTIM "We don't know how this happened to Kathy."

The woman had 'no ties' to the postal service or the media. New York City's Mayor is appealing for calm and perspective. MAYOR RUDOLPH GIULIANI/(R) NEW YORK - "It would be a mistake for people to be jittery, overconcerned, distraught. Across the river, in New Jersey, another postal worker has a suspected case of skin anthrax. Investigators now fear, tainted letters may be contaminating other mail, by somehow 'leaking' anthrax spores. Dr. Anthony Fauci/National Institutes of Health "certainly this is a moving target and an evolving situation." As is the war, in Afghanistan. US forces have turned up the heat on Taliban troops. For the first time since air raids began, the Taliban gave the media a guided tour of what they claim is the damage in Kandahar caused by American bombing. They say US attacks are hitting civilian areas, 'not' frontline positions. But the Pentagon says attacks have been right on target. On the homefront, the Attack on America has triggered an uncertain financial future. And President Bush is urging lawmakers to act fast. The congress needs to pass a stimulus package and get it to my desk before the end of November. It could take billions of dollars to fight this war on terrorism. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle wants the postal service to start using new equipment, that sanitizes every piece of mail. An expensive proposition, that just yesterday, the Postmaster General said, was not needed.))

Our final News 7-Mason Dixon poll on the race for governor is in -- and it's the best news Virginia Democrats have had since 1989.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]

Just two weeks ago, our poll showed Mark Warner with 45 percent support among likely voters, to Mark Earley's 42 percent.
Yesterday, Warner's lead grew to six points, 48 to 42 percent.
That's largely due to a 19 point lead in northern Virginia, an eight point lead in Roanoke and Southwest, and a lead that has grown to ten points in Hampton Roads.
But Mark Warner's also winning the personality contest, according to our pollsters.
His favorable name recoginition has leapt five points in two weeks, to 49 percent.
Mark Earley's has stayed the same at 39 percent.
But while Warner's UNfavorable name recognition grew just one point in the last two weeks -- Earley's jumped SIX points.

She says police officers have gained even more esteem since the terrorist attacks on September 11th ELEANOR HUNTER/DISTRICT ATTORNEY: Our evidence was overwhelming. If we had gone to trial, I'm sure she would have been convicted on all counts. The case involves a revolutionary group behind the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. Olson was affiliated with the group, and prosecutors charged her with targeting police officers. But the bombs did not explode and Olson disappeared in 1976. S

HADASSA GILBERT/SUPPORTER: I'm feeling outraged that the American justice, or injustice, system is such that Sara had no choice. Olson says she's not guilty, but worried about going to prison for life. SARA: There was a massive amount of evidence. And the evidence could lead to a conviction, especially in an atmosphere of complete support, understandably, for law enforcement. And my case was against law enforcement.
