Tourists found the Battle Monument dark on Tuesday night but will have a second chance to view the lighted shaft during Battle Day weekend in August. Observers note the monument is more imposing from a distance and remains a key draw for Bennington despite looming Route 7 traffic concerns. A continual lighting plan could boost visits and bolster local tourism. The piece also surveys a Supreme Court ruling on Civil Service protections, praising individual political rights while warning about potential shifts toward merit-based systems and reduced patronage.
Washington columnist argues Kissinger seeks to back Carter, smoothing differences and praising unity against the right. Carter’s Panama Canal stance aligns with Reagan, while Kissinger’s survivalist line contrasts sharply with a Reagan-Republican pivot that would oust Kissinger. Irony mounts as Ford lingers in Kissinger’s shadow while undecided delegates weigh electability and policy direction.
The piece covers lily varieties including madonnas regals and daylilies, stresses virus risks from tiger lilies, and offers planting, soil, drainage, and fertilizing guidance. It notes ideal fall planting, drying precautions, and mulching, plus advice on selecting improved strains from named nurseries and varieties like Enchantment and Speciosum. It ends with a political aside about Nelson Rockefeller’s campaign persistence.
Nelson Rockefeller speaks in Washington about the Ford presidency and his own role. He says Ford is a good president with weaknesses as a campaigner, Reagan lacks understanding of industrial society, and a Rockefeller State Department choice is unlikely. He envisions pushing decision making to states, warns of growing losses of freedom, and notes he plans to stay active if he returns to private life. Rockefeller notes his June 67 age and that his most recent role may be the worst of his government jobs. American Legion Magazine
