POP/ROCK - July 26, 1988

Postmaster General Anthony Frank is in a fix: Should the U.S. Postal Service issue stamps commemorating the King, Elvis Presley, as a fat older man, a drug-stuffed caution to children, a smooth young singer--or as someone’s who’s still alive? “The Elvis Presley people . . . are divided into four factions,” Frank told the Chicago Society of Real Estate Appraisers at its annual meeting Monday in San Francisco. The increasingly vocal group that maintains the rock legend is not dead puts Frank in a strange position, though; only dead people can be on U.S. postage stamps.
