Despite a false scare over some white powder found at Princeton’s Frist Campus Center last Monday, anthrax has not been detected on either campus...
...Thompson hasn't always been good, however, this time around he's been lucky. The anthrax scare has been a decidedly small one, with only eight infections so far and all but one caught in time. And while HHS, an amalgam of a dozen divisions that deals with everything from aging to drugs, has never been the smoothest-running machine in Washington, so far it has effectively mobilized its resources and overseen the testing of thousands and the treatment of all who have needed it.

Sometimes it takes a disaster to bring out hidden strengths in our leaders. The anthrax scare may have emptied offices on Capitol Hill last Wednesday, but Representatives J.C. Watts of Oklahoma, Diane Watson of California and Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas, among others, demonstrated a heretofore unrecognized capacity to get jiggy with it in a new music video by rapper MC HAMMER, filmed by the Capitol's reflecting pool.

A State Department mail handler who does not work near any of the previously investigated sites has been hospitalized with pulmonary anthrax. The CIA announced that it had found a trace amount of anthrax in a mail-handling facility at its headquarters. Across the city, further environmental tests on congressional office buildings revealed more traces of anthrax. And in New York, scientists found anthrax on four letter...
