A 1964 Bennington Banner dateline notes publication by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street Bennington Vermont. It lists daily distribution except Sundays and holidays and identifies the date Saturday March 28 1964.
Editorial notes Sen. Fulbright in Congress criticized U S foreign policy rigidity and calls for reexamining old myths. He urged Americans to consider unthinkable ideas and to view the Kremlin and Communist bloc as complex, not monolithic, amid changing world conditions and Kennedy era discussions.
The essay argues that hostility within the Communist bloc varies and warns against fixation on a global Communist conspiracy. It urges treating the USSR as a threat due to power, not ideology, and predicts Fulbright will face criticism as US policy shifts from a two power frame to a multipolar, economically stronger world.
Democrats in Burlington and surrounding counties discuss tactics to help Lt. Gov. Ralph A. Foote secure the Republican nomination for governor on September 8. They argue Hoff fares better against Foote than against rival Robert Babcock, aiming to weaken Babcock with staged GOP and Democratic primary contests and by tempting Meyer into a Democratic bid that could consolidate Hoff’s path.
Carl Rowan, tapped to lead the US Information Agency, faces the heavy task of carrying Kennedy era ideals into Johnson administration policy. The shift mirrors broader civil rights struggles as Rowan, a trusted ally of Johnson, sits at NSC and Cabinet meetings while critics question his past stance on integration.
Two letters to the editor criticize The Banner’s Manchester by pass report. Margaret Carver of Manchester says reporters distorted events and praises town officials for delaying action. Charlotes Brooks, South Dorset, argues against appeasing communism and cites Allen Dulles at a convention.
New York Republicans rebuffed Governor Rockefeller on key liquor reform proposals, damaging his presidential hopes. He plans a special session next month to press administration reform, after a bruising legislative setback that contrasts with Hoff's Vermont clashes over a separate session.
A Spokane couple recounts a winter journey from Missoula through Lolo Pass into Idaho. They describe snowbound stretches, emergency shelters, a rock hit, and rescue by simple road workers who fish for trout and share tales of elk and bears. The column notes hunting troubles, wildlife reports, and local fishing anecdotes.
A reflective analysis traces how Southern states solidified disfranchisement before 1900, noting Kipling, imperial tests, and political rhetoric. It cites Sen. McLaurin, Hoar, and Bassetts critique, describing violence, lynching, and the long economic and educational costs borne by the rural South.
