The apparent firing of Veterans Administrator Donald E. Johnson is only the first step to restore competence and compassion to the VA. Johnson, in five years, has alienated veterans groups from VFW to Vietnam Veterans Against the War. President Nixon backed him and named him to head a committee reviewing veterans services. Sen. Cranston warned against this move likening it to Dracula in charge of the blood bank.
Editor notes Loomis shaped Bennington’s business scene with farsighted Merchandising plans and a calm manner. His death yesterday saddens the town while his downtown preservation work is praised as a lasting legacy. Spiro Agnew’s post vice presidency tour and legal troubles surface amid politics. Johnson’s veterans’ benefits criticisms and calls for reform echo across the administration. Oil profits of 1974 draw sharp bipartisan reactions to pricing and embargo implications.
The author recalls 1960s ideals toward the Peace Corps and Flower Children, contrasts Berkeley’s student life with thefts and poverty, and argues liberalism has limits while warning against naive idealism. He describes Kroeber Hall security, bike chains as anti-theft measures, and reflects on Kennedy era motives.
Judy, George and Charley visit Bennington Free Library on May 11 at 1 30 PM for a puppet show inviting children to run the puppets and recite lines then make posters. The piece notes how families sorting bottles cans and paper can ease landfill strain and save costs.
A letter to The Banner urges area parents to attend Monday’s open curriculum committee meeting at Mt Anthony Union High School to discuss a proposed book policy. The writer critiques administration doubles and notes past mixed messages about the Go Ask Alice book and student access.
