Vermont pro McCarthy Democrats wrestle with strategy as they consider unpledged delegation support to back Eugene McCarthy at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. They contrast unity rhetoric with faction splits, while anti war members weigh platform goals and Johnson era pledges.
Reading from the Springfield Union and Kansas City Star, the piece argues Johnson cannot use a Truman style attack on Congress to buoy his re election bid. It notes the 90th Congress is Democratic led, GOP gains have faced Democratic help, and foreign policy strains risk eroding support for Vietnam. A White House remark hints at limited allies, underscoring political caution.
The piece argues 1968 could mark a realignment, with the Roosevelt era coalition fading and a new Republican coalition emerging. It notes Democratic fractures over war, Johnson, and generational shifts, while Republicans face an opportunity to seize power if they unify and appeal to dissenting Democrats.
A reflection on Christmas in 1967 North Bennington urging readers to see the season beyond excess. It argues Christmas survives in simple acts like knitted mittens, thoughtful gifts, shared carols, and family moments amid consumerism and spectacle. The piece ends with a wish for a year of peace where nobody is mad at anybody.
The piece reviews King Constantine's failed bid to rally Greece against the colonels. It notes his miscalculation, the regime's stay in power, and the broader pattern of military rulers in Greek history, arguing change will come from within the army as public disillusionment grows.
The writer lauds Senator Winston L. Prouty of Vermont as an outstanding, hard working public servant. He highlights Prouty’s dedication to 50 million Americans, his role in enacting relief programs, and his Christian conduct. The letter expresses pride in a senator from Vermont and wishes him continued health and stamina. FRANK J. CUMMINGS, Bennington.
