BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - The tabloid newspaper building targeted in the fatal anthrax mailings in 2001 reopened Thursday -- with newsrooms still marked by Sun and Globe signs and file drawers bearing labels like 'JFK Jr.'The contents were included when American Media Inc. sold the building in 2003. Developer David Rustine paid $40,000 to buy it and said he spent millions on decontamination and maintenance.The headquarters for the National Enquirer, Sun and Globe newspapers was the first target in the mailings that killed five people starting a month after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.Bob Stevens, a photo editor, died Oct. 5, 2001, from inhaling anthrax in an envelope mailed to the building, which was then quarantined.Rustine's wife, Rebecca, said they have not decided what to do with the objects that survived the cleanup. They plan to have their own office there, as well as space for tenants.Copyright 2007 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
