(CBS) “Contagion” opens Friday. Are you going to see it? Do stories about viruses really, really freak you out? Have you forgotten how bad “Outbreak” is? The movie, about a killer virus that travels the globe, has the critics saying “Meh,” along with lots of it-could-have-been-betters (and a few raves).

And  come back here Monday to see  how it fared in t...

(AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s president on Saturday stressed the need for his country to have a bigger role in international affairs, using his first local television interview to urge the Syrian government to end the carnage coursing through Cairo’s onetime ally. “The Syrian regime needs to understand that the continuation of bloodshed goes against all laws, desires, history and humanity,” Mohammed Morsi said in the hour-long interview, broadcast on state TV.
