...rationalization as wilfully ludicruous and self-centered as any of the others people use to feel safe. And, apparently, just as empty. Anthrax exposure has now been reported at the offices of supermarket-tabloid publisher American Media, NBC News (via a letter addressed to Tom Brokaw which exposed his assistant) and, presumptively, ABC News (a producer's 7-month-old baby came down with the illness after visiting the offices, though no link has been proven). The media isn't the only target off the anthrax mailings, which have also hit a Microsoft office and the offices of Senate majority...

...jolted by news of a fourth case of anthrax, this one found in an unidentified female employee of NBC News in New York City.

When Stevens? co-worker Ernesto Blanco was discovered to have anthrax spores in his nasal passages, nervousness turned to panic. Health officials in Florida, where the men lived, report that Stevens, who died last week, and Blanco, who has not shown any symptoms, contracted the same strain of the rare disease, and called in more than 700 of their...
...Florida, the FBI continued its investigation into a deadly case of anthrax. A tabloid newspaper editor died last week after exposure to the disease, and anthrax spores were detected in a co-workers nasal passages. Hundreds of people who worked in the same buiding as the deceased editor are being tested; authorities "doubt" this is a naturally occurring case of the disease, but as yet have no evidence suggesting a terrorist link...
