Powder Sent to Wall Street Journal Was Harmless

Look! They're laughing at us!

The powder that was sent to The Wall Street Journal yesterday has been tested and found to be "flour or a food-based substance." As it turns out, Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz also received a powder-filled mailing yesterday up in Boston. Police believe they are linked, since both bore postage from Knoxville, Tennessee, although Alan at least got this nice card. [NYT, WSJ]
