A recently rediscovered trunk containing 2,600 letters sent from France,
Spain, and the Spanish Netherlands between 1689 and 1706 will soon provide
a fascinating glimpse into the plight of the early modern European
everyman. These letters remained undelivered — including 600 letters never
opened — because their recipients could not be found or would not pay
outstanding postage costs. The trunk has been stored in The Hague’s Museum
voor Communicatie since 1926. Now, an international team of experts from
MIT, Yale University, University of Leiden, University of Groningen, and
Oxford Univeristy is exploring each missive in a ground-breaking project
called <http://brienne.org/>"Signed, Sealed, and Undelivered."

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
