What the Cornstarch Attack did to the New York Times.

"A suspicious powdery substance found Friday in an envelope in the mailroom at the New York Times newspaper likely is corn starch, the newspaper said.

The envelope also contained an editorial about reports on secret government anti-terrorism programs with a red "X" through it.

The employee, identified in a Times story as a 54-year-old man, put the envelope in a plastic bag and called police.

The employee was examined at a hospital but showed no symptoms or injuries, Mathis said.

The building's eighth floor was evacuated and sealed off for about 4 1/2 hours as the police hazardous materials unit conducted tests, Mathis said. The mailroom and the Travel and Styles sections, among other departments, occupy the eighth floor, Mathis said. She did not know how many people work on the floor."
