Editorial note from Danner Publishing Corporation Bonnington Vermont outlines daily publication policy excluding Sundays and holidays, listing address and corporate responsibility for editorial content across its local newspaper network.
The conviction of G Gordon Liddy and James W McCord Jr and the confessions of five accomplices settle only the captured crimes. The broader links to White House officials remain unprobed while Sen Sam Ervin prepares a comprehensive inquiry into the Watergate affair and campaign finance abuses persist.
In a veteran columnist critique, the article argues that the national anthem stirs controversy across musical genres and political lines. It confronts critics who label soul renditions as disrespectful, urging inclusion of all Americans in patriotic expression.
An analysis of Richard Nixon’s visit to India reveals a missed focus on refugees and a misstep in diplomacy. Sawaran Singh pressed for relief as Indira Gandhi prepared to plead for aid, while Nixon’s remarks and frostier toast underscored a broader rift. The result was diplomatic tension, a later naval move toward Pakistan, and a lasting critique of policy aims amid regional turmoil.
Edward J. Bloustein argues that faculty collective bargaining does not polarize universities as critics fear. Drawing on his presidencies at Bennington College and Rutgers, he contends bargaining supports peer evaluation, preserves collegial control of appointments, and may reduce conflict, while warning against creeping legalism replacing trust with formal rules.
In Vermont and New York, tax and land use debates unfold slowly while front page notices shout dramatic headlines. The piece argues real understanding comes from follow-up reports and informed public participation, urging readers to study back pages and editorials for the full picture.
A Glendale letter argues deficit financing confiscates wealth through inflation. It claims the government creates bonds, the Fed prints money, then trades for bonds, costing about $1 billion annually in interest. The writer urges readers to pressure the President and Congress to halt deficit financing.
Angela De Voto of Arlington laments The Banner’s praise of Ethel Ennis singing the National Anthem at Nixon’s inauguration. The writer agrees some bars strained vocal range and condemns soulful embellishment, urging Americans to leave the anthem unmodified and preserve its patriotic mood.
Dick Gregory delivers a stand up bit recalling childhood cravings and later battles with alcohol. He jokes how mind and habit shape addiction and recounts getting drunk, hiding in a garage for days, and a call home that almost reveals the ruse. The piece blends humor with blunt truths about recovery.
