...wanted more space. She rallied Cabinet officers and engineers to produce a plan for massive buildings attached to the existing White House and an enclosed quadrangle in the French Neoclassical mode. She had public and official support but not that of House Speaker Thomas B. Reed. Miffed by a postal appointment, he refused to let the authorization bill come to the floor. All that is left are preposterous drawings...
...Federal code requires each state to send their results via the United States Postal Service, postmarked no later than December 19. Then, on January 6, the national tally takes place in Washington. And although there are seven copies of the results, only about half of them go to D.C. One copy goes to the president of the U.S. Senate (a.k.a.

At no point did the bank have a strategic investor to oversee...
Postmaster General Henderson resists even the suggestion that the Postal Service could disappear and has vowed to shake up his mammoth organization. Yet in testimony to Congress last month, he seemed resigned to a fate that is uncertain at best. As he argued for support of the postal-reform bill that has languished in committee for so many years, the USPS veteran fell back on a sentimental plea. He cited statistics showing that 66% of all Americans believe the mail is our most private and secure form of communication. "These findings are a testament to the enduring strength and unique...
