- ROBIN COOK'S: VIRUS
5/8/95
In 1987, physician-author Robin Cook (Coma) wrote Outbreak, a bestseller about Americans stricken by Africa's mysterious Ebola virus. Cook gave Warner Bros. permission to use his title for their current theatrical release (which has a similar plot), but this 1995 TV-movie is based on his original story. It revolves around a medical researcher.(Nicollette Sheridan) from Atlanta whose search for the cause of the Ebola outbreak leads to some shocking discoveries. Dr. Harbuck: William Devane. Tad: Stephen Caffrey. Dr. Holloway: William Atherton. Dr. Clayman: Barry Corbin. Dr. Dubcheck: Dakin Matthews. Dr. Williams: Kurt Fuller. (2:00)

- ROBIN COOK'S TERMINAL
(1966)
A medical melodrama that trades credibility for convoluted twists, action and intrigue. The central character of this 1996 TV-movie is a cancer researcher named Sean O'Grady (Doug Savant), who is hired by a Phoenix clinic. There, O'Grady rekindles a relationship with Janet Reardon (Nia Peeples), an old flame now employed as a nurse. Together, they expose a coverup and a murderous conspiracy involving a drug that can purportedly cure malignant brain tumors. Rombauer: Michael Ironside. Margaret: Jenny O'Hara. Brian: Gregg Henry. Dr. Levy: Khandi Alexander. (2:00)
- PANDORA'S CLOCK
11/10/96 & 11/11/96
For all its hot buttons—epidemics, terrorism, air crashes—this two-part TV-movie is a nifty throwback to '70s disaster films. (I kept looking for Helen Hayes in tourist class.) Richard Dean Anderson pilots a 747; his passengers, many of whom star on NBC series, are exposed to a deadly virus. The dialogue's even deadlier, but you'll watch Clock for thrills, not talk. My score: 8

PANDORA'S CLOCK (Sun. & Mon., NBC) 11/10/96
For all its hot buttons—epidemics, ter- &

movie is a nifty throwback to '70s disas-

Hayes in tourist class.) Richard Dean
Anderson pilots a 747; his passengers,
