When I moved to Rappahannock County, escaping the marginal reach of The Washington Post was not a primary objective, although I thought it a fringe benefit. I knew that the Post offered a “Weekly” version designed, it said, for decision makers.
The subscription rate was, however, |300 a year. At that price I knew I would not be tempted to subscribe.
I had noted as I was looking to buy a house in the county, an occasional Washington Post open-end newspaper box standing beside the U.S. Mail boxes along routes 211, 622, and 231. However, I was reassured to note that the boxes were always empty, evidence, I thought, that a distribution program had failed. There were no such boxes on my road, Route 618.
