Just after 9/11, the City of San Diego found a "suspicious-looking box"
near 
an old residential neighborhood. After making a big fuss with fire engines  
and ambulances, lots of sirens and flashing red lights, the bomb squad came
out 
 and blew the box behind a mound of sandbags. In a puff of smoke, hundreds
of 
 pages of letters written by elementary school children in the 1930s floated

to  the ground.
