Western man spent cash earlier than historians thought
Tufts University associate professor Dr. Miriam Balmuth argues that silver ingots found in northern Syria date to 730 B.C., years before the commonly accepted 635 B.C. date from Sardis. Her comparison of Aramaic inscriptions and material tests places these ingots as early coins from the region, a finding presented in New York City and at the Archaeological Institute of America convention.

Blondin to be sentenced in 1969 Berlin murder case
Gerald W. Blondin, 23, of Barre, convicted of the 1969 murder of a Berlin teenager, was to be sentenced today in Addison County Court. He pleaded no contest to a reduced second degree murder charge after a four day trial over the April rifle slaying of Robin Farnham, 18, Vermont College freshman. Blondin had pleaded innocent and not guilty by reason of insanity to the original first degree murder charge. Sentencing was delayed pending a pre sentence investigation ordered by Superior Judge William C. Hill.
