The piece argues against treating Communists as a monolith and urges precise distinctions among Soviet, Chinese, Yugoslav, Cuban, and Vietnamese communists. It notes policy implications, cites Buckley, and calls for clarifying which variant is meant to avoid vague libel and chase observable facts.
The Christian Science Monitor highlights a growing voters rebellion against school budgets and bond issues in cities like Cincinnati Minneapolis and Los Angeles. Cutbacks in services and temporary school closures follow as local funds wane while teachers demand higher salaries and new buildings are needed. Federal aid remains under 2 percent of per pupil costs, prompting calls for state control and increased federal support to preserve education quality.
The column argues the Senate censured Tom Dodd for rules it has never made, likening the move to Plantagenet power and noting ex post facto concerns. It questions the ethics of fundraising by testimonial dinners and highlights Dodd’s disputed double billing and office spending while praising his anti-Communist record.
Vermont lawmakers copied Tennessee and Alabama actions by adopting Vietnam related resolutions mirrored from Southern precedents. The Burlington board adopted the 92nd Engineer Battalion for Southeast Asia and passed a fair housing ordinance, while Montpelier advanced fair housing measures. The piece questions reciprocity and argues for broader cross state exchange of progressive policies.
In a piece reflecting on Teacher Appreciation Day and education reform, the author highlights a May 25 meeting in Manchester Elementary School to discuss new teacher certification and selection methods. The column cites Dr. Edward Bloustein and Albert Shanker and critiques current training rules as costly and outdated. It recalls Vermont’s wary early policies and anecdotes about stubborn certification requirements and on the job experience versus formal courses.
A quote from Albert Shanker of the UFT is cited, arguing against recruiting college graduates as teachers. He proposes recruiting people in their 30s, training them for two to three years, and retaining them for a 30 year career, a plan that contrasts with traditional fresh-degree hiring.
New York Governor Rockefeller campaigns for Romney and a record $2.5 billion highway and mass transit bond, while reshaping party leadership.
