Last week's *Stamp Collector* newspaper had an article on the way that the
USPS helps the junk mailers in the battle between the consumers who don't
want to even open the letter and the junk mailers who try to fool us into
opening their letters. 

The gist of it was that the mailers want their letters to look like first
class, but don't want to pay the full postage.  The USPS' solution?  Issue
stamps which say "FIRST CLASS", but allow lower rates for presorted, etc.
