In late October 2001, lab technician Terry Abshire placed a tray of anthrax cells under a microscope and spotted something so peculiar she had to look twice. It was two weeks after the country's worst bioterrorism attack, and Abshire, like others at the Army's Fort Detrick biodefense lab, was caught up in a frenzied search for clues that could help lead to the culprit. Down the hall, Bruce E. Ivins, the respected vaccine specialist, was looking, too.

Abshire focused her lens on a moldlike clump. Anthrax bacteria were growing here, but some of the cells were odd: strange shapes, strange textures, strange colors. These were mutants, or 'morphs,' genetic deviants scattered among the ordinary anthrax cells like chocolate chips in a cookie batter.

MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State University is preparing to recreate Orson Welles' 1938 broadcast of 'The War of the Worlds' that sparked panic among some listeners who thought Earth was being invaded by aliens.

Indiana Public Radio General Manager Marcus Jackman said the re-enactment on Thursday night, 70 years after Welles' broadcast, will be a treat for attentive, creative listeners.

He's expecting a much more positive response than that incited by the original broadcast.

With the state of today's technology, organizers said it's safe to assume no one will be fooled by the actors' performance into thinking that Martians are invading the Earth.
