By Tim Darnell, Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT States with highest unvaccinated numbers will be most at risk: ex-FDA executive Despite a recent White House victory lap over 300 million vaccine shots administered in President Joe Biden’s first 150 days, the highly contagious delta variant continues threatening the U.S., especially in states with the lowest vaccination numbers. On Sunday, Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, told CBS’ “Face the Nation” the Biden administration needs a new vaccine strategy. “Connecticut, for example where I am, shows no upsurge of infection, but Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri, show…

Celebrity, Editors Picks, Real Estate, ,
BY JAMES MCCLAIN, DIRT.COM Troy Warren for CNT The 13,000-square-foot house includes eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms and sits on 7.5 acres. After nearly 20 years in residence, powerhouse ex-talent agent Adam Venit and his wife Trina are leaving their playful 90210 digs, on to new residential pastures. Sited in the Bella Vista guard-gated community high above Beverly Hills, their giant mansion now sports a list price that’s just a few hairs under $40 million — not surprising considering every inch of the Mediterranean-meets-contemporary behemoth was gutted and resculpted during the Venits’ ownership.
