ABC News

Dr. William Rae and Nightline's Terry Moran, from tonight's upcoming broadcast.

It says on the Web site for the Environmental Health Center on Walnut Hill Lane that founder William J. Rea, M.D. "is a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon with a strong passion for the environmental aspects of health and disease." Which is partially why ABC's Nightline is running a piece on the doc this very night. Also a reason, says the headline: "Texas Doctor Target of State Medical Board for 'Environmental Medicine.'" Or, as the accompanying Webcast puts it: "Nightline: Dangerous Doc?" Watch tonight -- your very life may depend upon it!. Or not. Depends how many times you've seen Safe. --Robert Wilonsky
