AMANDA BOWER has been reporting on the investigation into the hijackings and the anthrax attacks. She recently retraced the letter route of one of the Trenton postal workers infected with cutaneous anthrax. Talk to her on Tuesday...
Life in Hamilton changed on Oct. 13 when the tuxedo-clad mayor was diverted from a fund-raising event by news that the anthrax-tainted letter sent to NBC was postmarked Trenton. That was bad for the citizens of Hamilton: mail postmarked Trenton is actually processed in their hometown.

Investigators said they had found the mail-sorting box where one letter had been dropped, and more than 100 federal agents were combing the surrounding West Trenton neighborhood...
