Investigators say an NBC staffer opened a piece of mail containing an unidentified white powder late last month. Several days later, she developed a skin lesion-- which started taking on the characteristics of anthrax. She is being treated with antibiotics and is said to be doing fine. Rudolph Giuliani/New York City Mayor: The test of the powder was negative to anthrax. The skin test was positive. Another suspicious letter went to the New York Times. Both were postmarked St. Petersburg Florida. In Nevada-- experts are testing yet another letter, this one sent to the Microsoft Licensing Office.
