The Bennington Banner dated Monday August 9 1976 published daily except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street Bennington Vermont 05201.
The piece analyzes Friday's U S unemployment rise from 7.3 to 7.8 percent over two months. It argues that rising job seekers reflect a growing labor market even as jobs appear, complicating Humphrey Hawkins full employment goals and suggesting healthful economy signals draw more people into the labor force.
The piece blends economic analysis noting rising unemployment in a growing economy with a focus on Bennington heritage. It previews Battle Weekend events and historical accounts on Hubbardton Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys, linking local celebration to the 1977 Bicentennial lead up and Elizabeth Drysdale’s heritage writings.
National debate erupts as President Ford defeats Moss subcommittee subpoena on AT&T and FBI memoranda about warrantless national security taps. Court bans enforcement, citing risk to national security, while Moss plans to appeal. Critics say executive privilege could shield misuse and expand secrecy.
A letter writer condemns Peacework, arguing the magazine's editors overstate nonviolence and erode real-world measures. He defends fighting for peace, criticizes disarmament and socialist rhetoric, and mocks idealist calls for abolishing agencies while noting Cold War era Olympic context.
The note discusses Ethan Allen's absence due to imprisonment in England and contrasts his ego with Gen. John Stark. It muses that collaboration between the two could have altered the battle's outcome, suggesting a hypothetical capture of rebel stores near the monument.
In a reflective piece from Washington the author imagines Nixon resigning or fighting impeachment, recalls the Watergate tapes and the 1974 Dow drop, and argues for stronger congressional power to curb presidential authority while noting Carter’s rise and past proposals for no confidence.
