An Unusual Delivery Sparks a Scare

Days before she opened the anthrax letter, intern Grant Leslie was already on high alert.

In the weeks after 9/11, Capitol Hill employees were on high alert. The Friday before she opened the anthrax letter, Grant Leslie, an intern in Sen. Daschle's office, received an unusual thank-you gift for the senator from a group of Alaskan Native Americans: a bag of fur. Capitol police were called but tests showed the gift was, in fact, animal fur.
