The column argues for nationalizing welfare to curb regional disparities seen in Alabama and New York. It cites a Birmingham ruling ending racial disparities in aid, urges federal control, and links welfare to broader detente and economic reform while critiquing Moscow’s hijacking of Helsinki principles.
The column explores candles as the colonial light source from settlement through the Civil War, then kerosene. It traces wicks from flax to cotton, wax origins from bayberry to spermaceti, and candleholders from pricket spikes to chandeliers, sconces, and hog-scraper candlesticks. Candles remain used for ceremony and decoration while candle power signals luminous intensity. The Bennington Museum staff contribute material for future local history pieces.
