[Air-l] second post in u.s.

[jeremy hunsinger]

It should be know that there was a second post in various parts of the 
u.s. too, i remember getting morning and afternoon mail in the lightly 
populated rural area in which i lived when i was very young.  I think 
it changed for us around 1978 or so to 1 morning delivery at around 
11:30am, with what then amounted to yesterday's paper because it was 
the afternoon edition of the day before.  This caused one of the local 
papers to falter imho because you could get the news ftmp on the tv, 
and the paper that was not current lost significant value, there were 
huge changes in publishing too along with that, a real change of regime 
to some extent.
