The piece contrasts Buddy Jacobs's blunt view of the sport as a business with New York grand jury findings on Finger Lakes racing deals. It notes a $100,000 bribe claim, indictments against an upstate Republican, and broader concerns over corruption tied to legalized pari mutuel racing and its public costs.
In the 1964 Vermont Republican Yearbook the name Goldwater is notably absent. The 124 page volume lists many Republicans but excludes national convention coverage, party platform, or anti Democrat challenge. The piece mocks the yearbook as a consultant driven afterthought.
The writer argues the Democratic Party benefits from a Johnson led platform and a broad consensus backing Hubert Humphrey for the next presidency. He credits the Johnson administration with solid foreign policy and fiscal innovation while endorsing Humphrey as a qualified, mandate bearing national figure.
