NYT Editor Target of Anthrax Hoax

Good things rarely come in envelopes bearing a skull and bones symbol and a swastika sticker, the husband of New York Times assistant managing editor Susan Chira discovered on Wednesday. The envelope he opened, which had a Manhattan post office box as the return address, contained a plastic bag labeled "weaponized Anthrax" and containing white powder, reports the Huffington Post. Cops and federal agents determined that the powder was harmless. The incident is being investigated as a possible hate crime. (More New York Times stories.)
