Editorial notes Bennington County Democrats missed the New York convention but boast a county dinner winner last fall. Gov James E Carter wins the Vermont presidential primary though not unanimously by the state delegation. The Vermont Democrats appear united behind the Carter Mondale ticket amid continued excitement and tradition.
Vermont's subdued tally was announced by delegation chair Margaret Lucenti as NBC's John Chancellor noted the Green Mountain State's mention in wrap up. The piece debates vice presidential role and suggests a president focus on government while a ceremonial head of state handles ceremonies and public diplomacy.
A reader responds to William Dixon's charges against the Bennington Summers Jazz Lab. The letter challenges claims of commercialism and elitist obscurantism, notes Dixon’s racial framing, and counters with insider remarks on John Leaning’s portrayal of faculty views.
John Gardner comments on Bennington College culture where Dixon Horenstein and Tristman provoke anger with loud rhetoric. He warns against policy driven by name calling and disruption, urging modest commercialism to avert financial collapse and keep the college functioning.
The article explains differences between true lilies and daylilies, notes edible parts of Hemerocallis, and suggests growing daylilies for summer displays. It provides quick methods: starting from seed or buying named varieties, with a seed price list from George W. Park Seed Co. and bloom timing for several cultivars.
A reader accuses Mt Anthony administrator Clarence Pelkie of misrepresenting cost savings in the alternative programs. They claim total savings reach 66 039 36, not 34 185 21, citing added staff costs and disputed figures from the Redemption Center. The letter calls for honest budgeting before voters decide. The second item reflects on political experts and party conventions, questioning the predictability of political outcomes and the notion that politics is a precise science.
The piece argues Democrats could still lose in November despite a solid party, listing risks from Carter's unknown public image to potential unforeseen events. It notes the convention press corps will report but not foresee outcomes, and ends with a tale about a scuba diver applying for a clerk job.
