The Bennington Banner is published daily except Sundays and holidays by the Banner Publishing Corporation. It operates from 425 Main Street in Bennington, Vermont.
The piece argues that Republicans in Congress, notably Rep. Ford and Rep. Laird, are pushing a harsher Vietnam stance than President Johnson. It highlights the risk of a broader war, alienation of allies, and damage to the party's standing, contrasting with Sen. Aiken who calls for restraint.
The piece notes scattered fireworks over the holiday weekend despite announced strict enforcement by the State Police. It recalls traditions of fireworks on the fourth and hints at ongoing public debate over legality and enforcement. It also mentions Joseph Mitchell, ex Newburgh city manager, alleged to seek Manchester town manager post amid a history of controversy and political affiliations.
A reader wonders why a figure would pursue town leadership in Manchester seeking peace in a small Vermont town after controversy. The piece notes the discovery of John Adams diary in Royall Tyler papers, Tyler later Vermont Supreme Court chief justice once sought Abigail Adams’s hand. American Heritage’s February issue adds context to Saturday’s Banner story. Barber's Pond refurbishment in Pownal by Herbert Lewis boosts recreation and summer assets in Bennington County.
A club reader cites a WebsterSenate speech from March 12 1838 as printed in Congress Record and traced in Speeches and Orations of Daniel Webster 1906. The author questions authentication after past Lincoln quotations proved false.
A Latin American ambassador questions aid as participation rather than aid and Congress weighs a critical Middle East style reform. The AID program in Latin America shows progress with 1.064 billion dollars in loans and grants, led by Brazil and with Haiti and Uruguay highlighting uneven results. Deputy coordinator William D Rogers credits reforms while warning against stop and start policies that erode trust.

Washington based column riffs on freezing Pisa to prevent collapse and save U.S. taxpayers money. Andrew Viglianco of Charleston W V proposes using refrigeration to freeze ground around the tower and stabilize its foundation. He may meet Italian authorities this week to discuss putting the tower on ice. The piece compares this to a planned $24 million to $31 million U.S. project to replace the west front of the Capitol with a marble façade and turns the idea of a terrace into an ice skating rink, humorously suggesting the plan could be cheaper and beneficial.
The piece contrasts organized labor backing Johnson's Vietnam and Dominican Republic stance with artists, writers, and professors who sign appeasement statements. It notes Meany and Dubinsky urging support for hard action, while critics echo George Orwell's 1984 era warnings and push for dealings with China and the Soviet Union. Meany's delegation to Brussels for ICFTU is mentioned, as is the writer's mixed pride in labor yet disappointment in intellectuals.
A quirky sign by a Geary County Kansas school warns drivers to slow for children and to wait for the teacher. The oddly phrased appeal includes a jab about an “International Teamster” and a perfume claim whispered by a sales clerk, ending with the word Grit.
