Women Crime Rise Sparks Debate On Equality And Society
A Montpelier workshop last year explored alienation and rising crime among women. A psychologist noted a sharp 60s–70s rise in women’s property and fraud crimes, framing it as a potentially positive but radical shift. Experts discuss equality, chivalry’s decline, and crime types tied to new female roles.

Break up the Rockefeller fortune demands Liberty Union's Sanders
Essex Junction Bernard Sanders Liberty Union candidate for retiring Senator George D Aiken calls the Rockefeller family and Louis Reder of New England Telephone “illegal immoral and grossly irresponsible action” for threatening to fire 200 Vermont workers and cut the company budget after the Public Service Board rejected a 16 percent rate hike. He accuses AT&T controlled New England Telephone of corporate blackmail amid a 23 percent potential permanent rise. Sanders links Rockefeller ownership to rate increases and argues wealth should serve all people not a few. He vows to make attacking Rockefeller wealth a central campaign theme to aid seniors and working families facing high utility costs.
