ASBURY PARK, N.J. Postal workers in Asbury Park have intercepted several letters that contained the word ``anthrax'' on a single sheet of paper inside.

The F-B-I in Newark says the letters were mailed to schools, government agencies and private businesses.

None of the letters tested positive for the biological agent.

The F-B-I isn't saying to whom the letters were addressed for fear of causing a copycat situation.

Of course they needed to send the letters, there has not
been enough fear of anthrax lately.

It has fallen out of the news.

Amazing what one word on a sheet of paper will do to the
public.

I know it would leave me shaking.
