Reading of a 1963 1966 tax change error correction

It clarifies that the 22 year figure was mistaken and that the change occurred in 1963 for distant mail, with further postage rises in 1966. The piece discusses rising costs in newsprint and labor, government taxation as a driver, and critiques political reliance on tax hikes while noting cigarette tax effects reported by the Tobacco Tax Council. It ends with a caution about smoking and cancer.
