Anthrax Isn’t Over
Anthrax isn’t in the news much anymore, but that doesn’t mean the threat is over. Leonard Cole disentangles the confusing post-9/11 anthrax scare. Then Welsh poet Owen Sheers and editor Thomas Keith commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dylan Thomas’s death with a discussion about his life, his work, and his legacy. Nell Freudenberger shares her debut short story collection, Lucky Girls. And choreographer Twyla Tharp tells us how to be creative.
Leonard Cole
In his new book, The Anthrax Letters, Leonard Cole
takes us on a tour of the national response to the anthrax
scare, and explains why some postal facilities remain
contaminated even after multi-million dollar cleanups.
