AARON BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: We've got a little bit more information on this latest anthrax case here in New York at the "New York Post." It is -- the person with the skin anthrax is a woman, a secretary who works in the editorial side of the newspaper, not the business side. That gives us a little bit of a hint of where we presume, now, that there was a letter, and that it I was addressed to the news side, not the business side.

She is on Cipro now, has been for some time. It started out, as these cases do, it looked like an insect bite. In any case, she is on Cipro. And we'll get more information on her condition and the prognosis there as we go along this afternoon.
