AND THEN THERE WERE THREE

And you thought I was being paranoid? The key thing to look for is whether there is any Iraqi connection to the Florida anthrax outbreak. If there is, then this war will be expanded, whatever Colin Powell wants. I had my own bio-chemical jitter today. Walking back from NPR, I saw two separate pigeons flailing in distress on the sidewalk, one block apart. A man walking nearby saw me notice and said he had contacted the public health department. Almost certainly nothing – but you don’t realize how unconsciously you’re looking out for things until you see them in front of you. I felt like I was in the opening chapters of Camus’ “La Peste.”
