Vermont lawmakers face a drawn out budget fight over Gov Salmon's tax plan and service cuts. The piece notes partisan maneuvering from Republicans and Democrats, concerns about higher cigarette wine and liquor taxes, and protests from program beneficiaries. It also discusses a World Food Conference debate on grain use for alcohol versus direct human needs and explores nutritionists' arguments about beer wine and rum.
Washington columnist reviews economic policy battles from the Nixon Ford era. Prominent economists urged tax cuts to blunt a looming recession, while White House conservatives resisted. The piece details price controls, the Wage and Price Stability Council, steel price moves, and energy policy amid rising crisis. It closes noting observers warn of a potential shift by President Ford as advisers clash.
The Keene Sentinel reports a translation by Prof Elton Hodges of Franklin Pierce College describing in a cave wall inscription at Lascaux France that Blance had a headache again last night I’m beginning to wonder. The line appears in a humorous context from Irene Kampden’s Does Sex Have a Future.
The columnist argues Nelson Rockefeller lacks vice presidency suitability and urges assigning him to Kissinger’s foreign policy plane to keep him busy. This would occupy Rockefeller, reduce VP unrest, and groom a successor ready to take over foreign policy after Kissinger. The piece links Ford’s political fate to Kissinger’s role and Rockefeller’s ambitions.
In a lively column, Gerald Raferty critiques winter holiday songs for their fantasy contrasts with real snow woes. He riffs on White Christmas’ California imagery, notes Vermonters’ likely winter wonderland in Miami or Palm Springs, mocks Let It Snow optimism, and laments frost bite and outages. He muses on The Dartmouth Winter Song and Hanoverian shifts, then ends with a snagged log fire image despite a splinter.
