Small Pox and Its Dangers
The recent cases of anthrax due to bioterrorism and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have led to an unexampled degree of concern and urgency regarding the liability of our society to more such attacks. High government officials have been making public announcements that it is not a matter of if, but when' another foreign terrorist attack will occur in the United States.
