Even as Senators were being assured that their workplace would soon be safe, postal workers were clamoring for the same promise. Washington's Brentwood sorting facility remains closed until it can be cleaned, and postal employees in New York City filed a suit--which a federal judge rejected on Friday--to have the Morgan processing center, where anthrax also turned up, shuttered and sanitized. Morgan's infected machines can likely be cleaned with foam, but Brentwood, where the anthrax was aerosolized, probably needs a full gas bombing.

In a rich irony, the poorly executed musical numbers add substantially to what becomes an all-out farce. The actors, accepting and even embracing their own missteps, emerge ever more endearing...
Person of the Week VIGILANTE He may not have known when or what they will hit, but U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft warned Americans that terrorists were plotting ... something.
