	MOSCOW (AP) -- The infamously slow and unreliable Russian postal
system got a ballistic boost this week when a rocket delivered mail
to a remote peninsula in the Far East.
	In just 20 minutes, the SS-18 missile delivered 1,270 letters
Wednesday to the Kamchatka Peninsula, nine time zones and thousands
of miles away.
	The ITAR-Tass news agency said the mail was inside the capsule
that carried a German mini-lab into space, then parachuted to the
ground.
	The missile was launched from a Russian nuclear submarine in the
Barents Sea off Murmansk, home port of the Northern Fleet.
	ITAR-Tass said the mail was being stamped and delivered today
along with special certificates saying it had been delivered by
ballistic missile.
