Editorial notes Vermont's opening day for deer hunting, the land closures by Agriculture Commissioner Edward Eurich, and rising opposition amid concerns over property abuse and safety. It argues hunters must police themselves and report offenses to prevent dangerous stunts and preserve the sport's reputation.
The piece argues for vision and color blindness checks before hunting licenses, compares to driver testing, and proposes a stricter hunter safety course for those who fail. It also notes a two week period of increased hunting activity and announces reprinting Elizabeth Dwyer’s columns, starting with a 15 year old one.
In a humorous Vermont column the author lampoons deer season, depicting hunters as loud, fashionably dressed, and eager to bag venison while spouses prep gear. The piece skewers hunting culture, the risky behavior of some marksmen, and the chase against deer, ending with a playful Alice in Wonderland reference.
Tom Braden notes fierce opposition among New York teachers to race based assignments. Moynihan and Javits discuss civil rights law and the goal of integrated schools. The piece argues teachers must embrace duty, likening avoidance to cowardice, and praises the majority who accepted new placements.
The author laments declining basic literacy while praising reading as a lifelong tool. He recalls a past suit over a diploma and argues reading, learned best by practice and even at home, unlocks knowledge, earnings, and joy, noting speed reading and diverse writers as examples of its value across professions and interests.
A Berkshire County couple's friction over sleeping habits mirrors a broader trend. Despite king sized beds selling well, hotel data shows less than half of couples share a bed. The piece argues privacy and separate spaces can preserve marriages, while noting strong social taboos against sleeping apart.
