In Our Backyard #38

Albany, NY – Coming up on In Our Backyard: The Bird Flu. Over 75 people have died in Asia and Turkey from the H5N1 virus. Officials from the WHO say there is no sign of human to human transmission thus far. However, according to New York State Wildlife pathologist Ward Stone--the chances of the virus mutating are high. On this week's show, we'll talk with Ward about Bird Flu AND what Samuel Alito's record indicates about how he'll rule on environmental issues.
