Artist wins design for Pennsylvania waterfowl stamp
Rob Leslie of Turnersville New Jersey won a state contest for the 1987 waterfowl management stamp design. His painting of pintail ducks on a quiet pond was chosen from 73 entries from 28 states and will appear on the first 35 000 copies in April. The stamp supports wetland acquisitions and habitat work funded by stamp sales and royalties.

Paying the Price for Ex Presidents in Modern U.S. Policy
American taxpayers fund about 27 million dollars yearly for eight presidential libraries and ongoing support for ex presidents Nixon Ford and Carter, plus protection for their spouses and Lyndon Johnson's widow. The system drew criticism from Sen. Lawton Chiles who urged curbs, while Congress moved to limit library sizes and endowment requirements, though Reagan exempted his future library.
