Reporters say violence and looting in Detroit evolved from racial unrest to a biracial spree driven by desire for color television sets. Looters include whites and blacks using stolen Cadillacs, with even middle aged residents joining in. The piece argues the era shows a collapse of property ethics, warning affluence breeds misdeeds and erodes sense of right and wrong.
A Burlington Free Press column mulls Vermont education structures, billboard sensibilities, and tax listing fairness with wit. It notes desk growth in Montpelier, kid reading woes, and a pony cart travel tale. The piece lampoons signs, Solomon’s baby, and the sameness of the dollar over 15 years while praising television’s odd effects.

A lighthearted column surveys potential political careers for Shirley Temple, Ronald Reagan, George Murphy, and Sen Everett Dirksen. It notes Temple’s pivot from child star to possible candidate, Dirksen’s influential voice, and a joking forecast that Temple could outshine rivals if groomed for the White House race.
A Bennington Banner reader argues for year round schooling to reduce building needs and operating costs.

It urges Vermont to demand proof before further tax money is spent.
