BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- Pictures of Elvis in his coffin and boxes of other treasured tabloid photographs will be decontaminated in the final cleanup at the former headquarters of a supermarket tabloid that was the first target in a series of anthrax attacks.

A collection of 4.5 million images, along with 305,000 pounds of press clippings, other pictures and periodicals once owned by American Media Inc. had been stored in sealed containers since someone mailed the anthrax to the building in Oct. 2001.

The company that cleaned the former AMI building in July said Wednesday it reached an agreement with David Rustine, the building's owner, to decontaminate the materials. Bio-ONE had intended to destroy the pictures and clippings.

But attorneys for freelance photographers said in December that Rustine did not own the pictures that appeared in supermarket tabloids such as the Weekly World News, Star and National Enquirer, and could not destroy them.

that they can't decontaminate will be very large.

4. Actually, it's owned by a friend of Jeb's

who got the whole place plus 5 acres on I-95 for $40,000. Cute?

Rudy's new bio-chem cleanup company are the new tenants.

5. Amazing. It never ends.

The Crime Family rolls on, murdering its own people.

6. They want the pics of the Bush twins. There are plenty of stories over the

years of some of Bush's close friends, like Larry Gatlin. In the early 80s there were alot of tabloid stories and pics from when he was in NYC and had a significant coke problem, which he proceeded to blame for his "experimental" sex with other men.
