Senator Frist draws on his knowledge of medicine, public health, and human nature to address pressing questions about how we can protect our families in the event of a bioterror attack-something about which the nation knows far too little. His recommendations will not only help prevent infection, they will help prevent panic-and panic can be as great a danger as disease.
