   I live in Durham (27713) and I usually get my copy on Thursday or Friday.  
However, I did not receive the election issue until yesterday, which I  
expected to get on Saturday at the latest.  My father in Charlotte got his
on Saturday.  What an issue!  Damn good reading for those interested in a
behind-the-scene look of the presidential campaign.
