The 1965 Vermont General Assembly faced a cloud of reapportionment that shaped its work. Members resisted change, yet court orders forced action, yielding a pivotal shift in governance and setting the stage for future reforms and the “one man, one vote” era. The session produced notable successes but left broader educational and reform agendas incomplete, to be weighed by reapportioned legislatures.
The week signed watershed agreement grants town and village water rights in Woodford and Glaston bury, ending ten months of delicate negotiations. Local landowners are praised for their extraordinary generosity, and the deal positions the community to plan future water needs amid broader regional expansion. Senator George D. Aiken advocates restraint on Vietnam escalation, citing Foreign Relations expertise. The note laments a July 1 adjournment court order that blocked a needed medium security facility and rehab for young offenders, and mocks an IBM machine’s ability to blame others for errors.
A columnist analyzes the clash between Federal Reserve Board chairman William McChesney Martin and the White House over monetary policy. The piece discusses independence of the Fed, the Employment Act mandate, and the risk of conflicting administration and central bank actions, urging harmonious but distinct roles.
In a critique of Mark Twain's Huck Finn, the writer claims the novel is poorly written and inconsistent. He cites a geography inconsistency in the scene with Huck, Widow Douglas, and the hill near the river, arguing the author misleads readers and undermines scene realism.
A Washington note recalls GSA evicting beatnik artists from upper floors leased for FBI offices on Pennsylvania Avenue. The clash cites urban renewal and anti poverty policies pushing artists from garrets. Rickey Hart, son of a friend, riffs on Pulitzer worthy irony and cultural goals versus housing access for creatives. Brigitte Bardot quote about altitude ends the clipped clipping.
Letters to the Editor discuss American freedom to choose transport with electric cars as a humane future, DDT not to spray for gypsy moths, and Levin as a safer alternative with wildlife concerns. A witty WWII note ends with a Globe quotation.
