...most dangerous research is done in the country's Level 3 and Level 4 labs. Since the anthrax letter attacks of 2001, which killed five people and infected another 17, the government has spent billions on bioterror and infectious-disease research, and on building the high-risk labs that house those experiments. But nobody knows exactly how many such labs exist today. A 2005 survey by the National Institute of Health, which funds much of the country's bio-defense studies, tallied 277 Level 3 labs in the U.S.; meanwhile, a Homeland Security and Health and Human Services report...

Last April, after state Republican party leadership endorsed Jindal and when it became clear that Breaux was out of the race, Boasso switched his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, and he has spent the ensuing weeks burnishing his regular-guy image. Public service commissioner and former state senator Foster Campbell is the more traditional Louisiana Democrat, proud to wear the populist label.
