A batch of 21 Americans, including Raymond Phillip Weaver and George Maynes, received presidential pardons before Christmas.

Washington AP reports the U.S. Postal Service posts three straight billion-dollar profits. The agency aims to be debt-free by 1999 and may raise a 1-cent stamp in 1998, while bonus pay incentives and cost trims boost performance. Riley notes pride among staff as profits mount and long-term deficits shrink from 5.9 to 1.36 billion. The story also notes disability-pay audits that find improper claims and job activity.
