There was a stagnant puddle in the hallway of the university residence that opened only two years ago, but the rainy season had not yet started in Madagascar.

The building was praised for its "generous" homes, terracotta-paved hallways with benches and plants, and a water feature that gives the building the "sense of a woodland oasis".

Defense Department officials immediately restricted reporter movements, closing off particular hallways in the Pentagon to reporters and booting long-credentialed media outlets from assigned workspaces.

For decades, reporters wearing identification badges had broadly unfettered access to nonclassified areas of the Pentagon, able to walk the hallways of the sprawling building and visit officials’ offices.

But it wasn't until she collapsed in her hallway that the symptoms became impossible to ignore.
