1. Book readers, rejoice: A new Dr. Seuss is on the loose!
What Pet Should I Get? Read the newly discovered title from Dr. Seuss, which hits shelves Tuesday, for some delightful advice. Random House Children's Books is publishing Dr. Seuss books based on materials found in 2013 by his widow, Audrey Geisel. This<span style="color: Red;">*</span>title, announced in February,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>is believed to date to 1958-62. <span style="color: Red;">*</span>It features the same brother and sister seen in Dr. Seuss' 1960 classic<span style="color: Red;">*</span>One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The story is simple: A brother and sister go to the pet store with permission from Mom and Dad (who are nowhere in sight) to “pick just one” pet to bring home by noon. But it’s so hard to “Make Up Your Mind,” as a banner proclaims! Brother wants a dog, sister wants a cat … or a rabbit, or a bird, or a fish. And what the heck is that long-nosed thing called a Yent that could live in a tent? Find more summer book recommendations here.
2. Pentagon official, CDC lab regulator face questions from Congress over live anthrax shipments
An investigations subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee is scheduled to grill federal officials at a 10 a.m. hearing Tuesday about lax biosafety practices that resulted in an Army biodefense facility mistakenly shipping live anthrax<span style="color: Red;">*</span>specimens to dozens of labs for more than a decade. Citing a USA TODAY investigation, the subcommittee plans to explore larger questions about whether the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s current oversight of labs working with potentially deadly bioterror pathogens needs to be strengthened.
