Hour One: AIDS Vaccine Research / Computer Forensics

Last week, researchers reported that an experimental AIDS vaccine controlled HIV infection in monkeys ...but another group using a similar vaccine said the virus could mutate to evade the vaccine. In this hour of Science Friday, we'll get a progress report on the search for an AIDS vaccine. Plus, from Enron to Al Qaeda ...searching for electronic evidence.
