Editorial argues routing debates over a .3 mile stretch of Forest Highway No. 3 in Peru reflect broader questions about how partial road improvements affect statewide planning. It calls for reviewing implications under Act 250 and notes wider relevance to Route 7 in Bennington County and Vermont scenic backroads. It discusses John McClaughry’s public profile, then shifts to memories of photographer Sam Chamberlain and political mood in Washington as the year opens.
The piece notes President Ford's open approach drawing fresh tension with Congress and the CIA, as younger lawmakers demand budget cuts, Kissinger faces scrutiny, and Nelson Rockefeller stays busy downtown. It highlights a new mood of shared responsibility and reduced presidential secrecy, yet questions linger on decisive leadership and national cooperation.
The writer recalls a poem about a dead teacher and critiques modern education. He laments bloated course offerings, rising salaries, and bureaucratic inertia in teacher education and highway work, arguing that many graduate courses pass on little value while raising costs for taxpayers.
In a debate on Middle East oil, Kissinger and Ford hint at potential military options but regard force as a remote last resort. The piece weighs political leverage, Soviet countermoves, and the risks of imperial action, arguing that for all sides restraint and bargaining must prevail to avoid broader conflict.
