Dispatch from the farm recalls debates on schoolmaster quality and media objectivity. Aaron Matthews praises his son, a horseman, while a Maine Gypsy caravan tale reflects on honesty in trade. One summer Grandfather bought a beautiful new horse.
Grandfather reflects on a forthright Gypsy trade that left him with a handsome horse bearing two undisclosed faults. After careful reckoning he recalls the honesty of the deal and plans to rectify the matter honoring the prior exchange. Asa Blethen arrives, and the first fault is revealed: the horse is awful hard to catch.
Asa and Gramps engage in a cautious horse trade on the Potomac scene. After the price is settled ASA hands over the money and asks the buyer for a second fault. Gramps pockets the payment and remarks the buyer is not trustworthy once caught. The passage notes that close associates to a transaction may not be dishonest to move a horse.
A probing profile notes Walter Mondale differs from past vice presidents with ego limits, suggesting he could act as deputy to Carter. It contrasts Mondale with Spiro Agnew and Nelson Rockefeller, examines post tenure transitions in Washington, and previews the personal costs of power for Ford, Kissinger, Mansfield, and others while celebrating Carter’s White House entry.
Joseph Evans consents to lead the grand march at the President's Birthday Ball at the state armory after committee persuasion. Antioch College's John Williams assists at the Banner Office training. Bennington Village trustees discuss a curfew return with police committee. Vermont Republicans weigh Ike's entry but hesitate on Taft endorsement. DeMille film premiere draws local spectators in Florida. Blood drive pledge announced by Exalted Ruler Perrotta. Barbara Howes reads at Gov Hoff inauguration. Bijur Lubricating Corp buys 29 acres near Park Street Lover's Lane. John Wilkinson speaks at Donald Cranston Award banquet amid BCHS and Mt. Anthony fans.
The date recalls Florida's 1861 secession from the Union, the 1920 birth of the League of Nations as the Versailles treaty took effect, Miriam Ferguson becoming Texas governor as the second woman state chief executive, Nellie Tayloe Ross's earlier Wyoming governorship, and the 1970 Marietta nursing home fire that claimed 31 lives.
In Washington a $300 million emergency loan to Portugal was approved after weeks of delay amid official notes of it being on track. Shortly before approval Portugal ended a 50 year ban on Coca Cola, with a Swiss Portuguese venture to bottle it locally within six months, previously smuggled from Spain at about $2 a bottle.
A satirical look at Coca Cola tied to U S political moves during the Carter era asking if Georgia figures and Atlanta ties influenced diplomacy. It questions appointments and potential perks, musing on detente, SALT timing, and market brand clashes with Pepsi and 7 Up. It playfuly probes Kissinger’s current drink choice.
The article describes the Wolf Moon as a time when primal winter forces dominate. It portrays hunger, ice, and wind as sharp fangs shaping a harsh landscape, with trees naked and ponds iced. It likens ice to a relentless predator eroding rocks and terrain through storms.
