Postal moratorium may curb small post office closings
Washington reports a moratorium on mail service cutbacks, with Rep. James Hanley interpreting the move as a stand against small post office closings and Saturday delivery elimination.

Also, cremated remains mailed to Arlington were lost in transit, a first in 30 years, prompting compensation debates and renewed concerns over parcel damage.
