Editorial argues the revised Passamaquoddy Bay tides plan for electric power is technically feasible and would bring multiple benefits to New England. Opposition from private power interests, concerned about competition, has stalled the project for 45 years despite studies and a Department of Interior report. The plan targets peak demand periods when private firms struggle to meet load.
Supporters argue Quoddy tidal basin could supplement existing grids without land flooding. They claim a $1.25 return for each dollar invested and note job creation in northern Maine. A Senate Public Works subcommittee weighs its feasibility as a practical power source and regional stimulus.
Editor argues that interpretive reporting shapes voters in the Goldwater campaign. He notes misquotes and misreporting, urging columnists to explain what the senator meant while stressing that clarity begins at home.
In a Senate gallery showing that tested friendships, Pierre Salinger was sworn in as senator to fill the late Clair Engle's seat after a two hour delay. The debate covered the distinctions between appointed and elected senators and de facto versus de jure status, with light humor from Sen. Ervin and Sen. Kuchel.
A reader letter attacks Samuel Ogden's liberal critique using a parable about cannibals and weighted votes, urging equal representation and government by the people. Readers discuss democracy, representation, and responsibilities of lawmakers.
The piece argues that Congress should weigh a constitutional amendment for state legislative reapportionment, balancing urban and rural power. It notes urban growth since 1890 and the misrepresentation in 44 states, while praising Dirksen's approach to involve Congress and ease fear of reform.
A Vermont reader shares an unscientific poll of 30 drivers near Haynes Corners assessing billboard impact on voters. Results show limited recognition of candidates and minimal effect on voting intentions, with one elderly Canadian noting Foote’s face as honest.
