Your story on the U.S. Postal Service seriously misstated the facts about the sale of mailing lists [BUSINESS, Jan. 19]. The Postal Service does not sell mailing lists or reveal the names of postal customers. It zealously guards the sanctity of the U.S. mail and the privacy of all mailing customers.

After earning a bachelor's degree at DePauw University and a law degree from Howard, he came to prominence in 1961 when a howling white mob tried to prevent...
...hottest battle right now is in two-day package delivery, where the USPS has picked a nasty fight with the parcel-delivery services. In TV spots for its Priority Mail, the postal service touts its prices as far below those for the comparable service by FedEx or UPS. Yet the post office can't match their delivery record or track a piece of priority mail from shipper to receiver. An advertising review board rejected a FedEx challenge to the spots last year, but the two rivals remain in litigation. Says UPS chairman and ceo Jim Kelly: "I can hardly imagine...
