Times newsroom evacuated

I took a call tonight from a concerned reader, asking if my building was evacuated tonight?

Having no clue what he was talking about I ran a search, using the blogger search, and found that the Times editorial Department was sealed off and the writers and editors departed to the lobby. A LA Times clerk opened an envelope with a powdery white substance on the third floor and notified LA Times security.
