Breast-Cancer Stamp

The House voted 422-3 to create a special stamp to help fund breast-cancer research. The stamps, which will carry a surcharge of as much as 8 cents over the regular first-class rate, are expected to raise tens of millions of dollars for studying the disease that in some areas of the United States strikes 1 in 9 women.
