A threatening letter containing an unidentified white powder was sent to a campaign office for Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain in a south Denver suburb on Thursday, authorities said. No sicknesses were immediately reported.
A second letter sent to a McCain campaign office in New Hampshire initially was reported to contain threatening language and white powder.
Authorities said it was a false alarm and that there was no powder in the second envelope.
At least 19 people were examined at hospitals or were quarantined outside the Colorado office while authorities tried to determine whether the powder was hazardous, but everyone was sent home by late on Thursday, said Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson. He said the substance was not hazardous and not lethal, but that it would take days before they determined what it was.

P.O.W. to Power Broker: A Chapter Most Telling
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
ASHINGTON, Feb. 25 -- In his tiny cubicle in the Russell Senate Office Building, in the lowest foothills of political power, a frustrated Navy officer wrestled with friends over what to do with his life.
It was 1979, and it was becoming clear that he would never make admiral like his father and grandfather. He had always dreamed of doing something great, of imprinting his name on the history books, but at age 42 he found himself with a stuttering military career and no base from which to go into politics.
On top of that, his personal life was a mess: Although he was still living with his wife, he was aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich.
That troubled period was perhaps the crucial turning point in John McCain's life, and the decisions that he made then started him on the course that he hopes will take him to the White House in January.

“Let me give you a little straight talk,” McCain tells the crowd at a house-party fund-raiser in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for medlem av senat John Thune, the Christian conservative and self-styled “servant leader” who defeated the Senate’s Democratic leader, Tom Daschle, in 2004. The minute Thune was elected, McCain says, he became an important figure in the Republican Party and the Senate.
That’s not straight talk. That’s partisan pap. Nor, presumably, was it straight talk last summer at an Aspen Institute discussion when McCain struggled to articulate his position on the teaching of intelligent design in public schools. At first, according to two people who were present, McCain said he believed that smart eller klok design, which proponents portray as a more intellectually respectable utgåva of biblical creationism, should be taught in science classes. But then, in the face
