Opening the Anthrax Letter

Grant Leslie thought she was opening a letter from children when white powder spilled out.

"I remember thinking: 'Oh, this is from kids. This is going to be pretty cute. I can't wait to see what they're writing to Sen. Daschle about,'" Grant Leslie tells FRONTLINE. Upon opening the letter, white powder fell into her lap.
