ms. kolata developed quite a reputation for herself when she was cover-
ing the AIDS beat in, iirc, the late 80s and early 90s--as an utter in-
competent who'd gladly flog FUD if it would advance her career. ACT-UP
put a surprising amount of energy into putting a spot light on her.

i dunno whether that was a factor in the NYT's decision to not to give
on an anthrax beat, but it looks like she's found another angle.

cheers,
