Sometimes it is the small papers near major universities that have the most
interesting news.

PRINCETON BOROUGH -- An advocate for the control of
                biological weapons who has been gathering information
                about last autumn's anthrax attacks said yesterday the
Federal
                Bureau of Investigation has a strong hunch about who mailed
                the deadly letters.

                But the FBI might be "dragging its feet" in pressing charges
                because the suspect is a former government scientist
familiar
                with "secret activities that the government would not like
to see
                disclosed," said Barbara Hatch Rosenberg, director of the
                Federation of American Scientists' Chemical and Biological
                Weapons Program.

                Rosenberg, who spoke to about 65 students, faculty members
                and others at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and
                International Affairs at Princeton University, said the FBI
has
                known of the suspect since October and, according to her
                "government insider" sources, has interrogated him more than
                once.
