Vermont Yankee costs blamed on opponents deny links
In Vernon Vermont the VPIRG board and state officials faced debate over the rising cost of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. Former president Albert Cree had touted an $8 million project with low electricity prices, but by 1966 costs exceeded 220 million and rates reached as high as 82 mills per kilowatt hour due to plant failures and shutdowns.

Ervin cites contradictions in Watergate document secrecy
Sen. Sam Ervin, chair of the Senate Watergate Committee, says he has received conflicting classifications on Watergate documents. In a WTIC interview, he cited a State Department report on Japanese textile exports labeled confidential, while a Commerce Department copy carried no classification, accusing the executive branch of overreaching executive privilege and undermining constitutional limits. He spoke during a Yale visit as a Chubb Fellow.
