About 40 years ago, the IJ had a unique weekly feature going — an "IJ Mailbox of the Week."
Sadly, mailboxes aren't much in style any more. A similar feature today could be the "Email Inbox of the Week," but it wouldn't be nearly as interesting.
Reproduced here are two "MoW" winners, one from March 1, 1973, and one from Feb. 22, 1973.
