Nozick turned to political philosophy for the first time in 1971, when he delivered several talks on the topic at Harvard as a guest lecturer. Shortly after giving the lectures, Nozick later recalled, Rawls’ Theory of Justice arrived in his mailbox, and soon after he prepared his own rejoinder—which culminated three years later in Anarchy, State, and Utopia...
...come to dread checking my mail. No, I have no irrational fears about contracting anthrax. Rather, I have come to fear the arrival of that bane of Harvard students’ existence—the phone bill. It seems that every time I check my mailbox, there it is again, the innocuous looking envelope with the pink sheets of astronomical fees and the orange envelope of doom that screams expectedly for yet another check.

...still knows next to nothing about who has been spreading the disease through the mail and why--and the death of Ottilie Lundgren of Oxford, Conn., from inhalation anthrax makes things even more confusing. It's hard to imagine that the woman, 94, was a target. Her mailbox had no sign of the bacteria, and though her aging immune system may have been less resistant to spores than a younger person's, investigators are baffled. Unlike Kathy Nguyen, the New York City hospital worker who died four weeks ago after contracting an equally mysterious case of anthrax, Lundgren rarely left...
