title: Managing terror. Public health officials learn lessons from bioterrorism attacks.
abstract: When a photo-journalist presented with the first case of inhalation anthrax in the United States in 23 years, it marked the worse case of biological terrorism in our nation's history. It also marked a significant management challenge for numerous local, state and federal officials. Review what was learned and how we can better prepare for future attacks.
