      Skinheads Dupe German Mail, Make Stamp of Nazi Hero

      Neo-Nazis in Germany pulled a fast one on the national postal service by tricking the agency into making stamps featuring one of Hitler’s senior deputies, der Spiegel reports. The skinheads used a Deutsche Post service that allows people to upload images for custom stamps online to create about 20 with images of Rudolph Hess.

      1st-Class Stamp Price to Rise 1¢

      First-class snail mail will cost a penny more starting May 12, the US Postal Service announced today.
