“Early in October [2001], a sixty-three-year-old photo editor named Robert Stevens entered a hospital in Florida with mysterious symptoms: a fever, an odd sore throat, labored breathing. On October 4, hospital officials confirmed that he had been exposed to anthrax. Two days later, he was dead.” In all, five people died, and 17 others were infected from letters mailed containing anthrax spores.
