Former Arlington Resident Signs Viet Statement
Former Arlington resident John C. Schafer, a 1959 Arlington Memorial High School graduate and Peace Corps alumnus, signs the Committee of Returned Volunteers statement opposing the U.S. role in Vietnam. The paper, to be released in Ramparts and discussed at a Washington press conference, argues for withdrawal while Schafer favors a defensive hold. Schafer, now a teacher near Boston, reflects on idealism waning after Kennedy’s assassination and the war’s escalation, insisting signed veterans oppose the war out of love for America and concern for its future.

In Hartford's White River Junction area about 245 property owners protested the reassessment process. The Board of Civil Authority began hearings as the town revalued property after a 1966 vote. A state team, aided by locals, conducted the review and Deputy Tax Commissioner John Long defended the effort as fair, while disputes centered on downtown economic depreciation and the new 30 percent assessment threshold.
