Widow Of Boca Newsman Killed By
Anthrax Sues U.S. For $50 Million

The widow of inhalation anthrax victim Bob Stevens filed lawsuits in state and federal courts Wednesday, alleging that negligence by either the U.S. government or by at least two laboratories that handle the anthrax bacteria may have led to her husband's death. The two lawsuits outline the same arguments: that either the federal government or the labs allowed someone to get a sample of Bacillus anthracis that was later mailed to American Media Inc. in Boca Raton in the letter that Stevens handled.
