The piece argues that late 20th century rate hikes by the U.S. Postal Service would price ideas out of smaller and independent publications. It cites Nixon era press battles, Supreme Court limits on source confidentiality, and advocates for Senate action led by Gaylord Nelson to freeze first-step increases and slow future rises over ten years.

Campaign tensions exist with Meany and Dougherty, and strategies include attacking Nixon while broadening national outreach.
