PAULA ZAHN, CNN ANCHOR: We just got word that The Associated Press is now confirming that a CBS news employee has tested positive for the skin form of anthrax. This person apparently worked in Dan Rather's office.

You might remember earlier this week, investigators came around and looked at the offices after the ABC scare, looked at our offices here and at FOX, CBS, and NBC.

As more information becomes available we will bring it to you.
