The proposed new rates would more than double mailing costs for all U.S. magazines, and would have sent Look's postal bill rocketing from $4,000,000 to $10 million in five years. Cowles called the increase "unconscionably high and a complete reversal of U.S. postal policy since the days of Benjamin Franklin, who felt that the cost...

Since the higher-ranking officials...
