Over the last six months since Walmart has opened one of their stores here in Ithaca (a town of 20 thousand), there has been a lot of ill feeling and hostility. This has been specially evident on the Cornell campus, where column after column denounced the capitalistic enterprise.

Now it seems someone has taken his/her hatred a little too far. This morning at six thirty the police were called in to investigate a bomb-like device. As of now the complete mall area has been closed off. According to WHCU, Cornell and Ithaca hazardous department officials are investigating what they say are the materials for a home made bomb.
