Biopolitics Roils Montpelier Deer Hearing
At a packed Montpelier High School hearing on House Bill 169 Vermont wildlife officials face sharp opposition from hunters and local residents who insist on political control of deer management. Veterinarian Gerald Scanlan argues that winter kill is overstated and that lax doe reporting and range management, including strip cutting near winter yards, are key to improving the herd rather than broad reductions. He asserts deer consume large forage even after reductions, so only combined habitat work could help.

IRA suspected in murder of three British soldiers
In Belfast six gunmen believed to be IRA members lured three British soldiers to a pub and shot them in the back. The victims were Fusilier John McCaig 17, his brother Joseph 18, and Fusilier Donald McCaughey 23 from Glasgow and Ayr. A yellow car fled as two schoolchildren found the scene.
