A harsh critique decries Nixon’s State of the Union address as stale campaigning rhetoric. It accuses him of condescension, ignoring domestic ills, promising tax cuts while masking costs, and blaming Watergate for political ills. The column warns of a weakened union if public trust remains unmet. The piece also assesses Ford Foundation support for Public TV and the potential impact of its orderly withdrawal on programming.
Gilier and F Stein criticize threshold and unconscious amplicity in Watergate framed as a winter issue analysis. The piece argues a stern veneer hides a corrupt core in election ethics, noting widespread cynicism toward politics mirrors personal daily compromises.
A Bennington VT reader attacks The Banner for editorial bias on Mt Anthony High School coverage. He accuses editors of stirring conflicts, questions their expertise, and urges journalistic maturity while defending school efforts and staffing. He signs from Monument Ave Ext, Bennington.
A Mount Anthony student body representative letter rebukes a recent Student Senate position and condemns anonymous pages circulating at the high school for profanity and libel. The writers insist on open discussion of problems, defend free opinion, and oppose retaliation against the page’s author.
The California disclosure law targets campaign funding by banning anonymous large gifts and cash contributions, requiring candidates to publish donor lists and amounts twice per primary and twice per general elections.

A critical look at Tompkins and Bird’s The Secret Life of Plants.
