Choosing the Elvis Stamp Design in a Public Vote
In a Gazette column, readers are urged to vote on two Elvis Presley stamp designs. The piece notes the Public Service decision to open a ballot April 6 to 24, with a 19 cent stamp, part of a Legends of American Music series. It argues the older Elvis resembles impersonators, while the younger version better captures his era. The author urges participation and hints only part of the design may be voted on.
