Virus

Judy Seckler GLENDALE -- Lots of local people were not feeling the love one day after a powerful virus ran through a portion of the world's computers. Glendale City Hall experienced a few problems, while Glendale Community College and the Nestle Corp. sustained minimal damage . On many computers, the virus appeared as an e-mail attachment named "I Love You." City spokesman Ritch Wells said 26 municipal employees opened the messages out of 1,500 PCs at City Hall.

Claudia Peschiutta THORNYCORFT -- In a solemn sanctuary where the sounds of the outside world are nothing more than whispers, JoAnn Banks tackled a tremendous amount of pain without making a move. She prayed. The 33-year-old Sunland resident said she came to the World AIDS Day interfaith prayer vigil at First Lutheran Church Wednesday night because she has seen the virus take whole circles of friends away from people. "There's a lot of pain and a lot of suffering and I guess that's what I'm praying about here today," Banks said.
