Senator Eugene J. McCarthy of Minnesota delivered a strong challenge to President Johnson during Veterans Day speeches, warning against silencing dissent and urging unity rhetoric misread as support for escalation. The editorial notes McCarthy’s potential to impact primaries and the convention, highlighting the broader protest against the war and fear of a deeper U.S. confrontation with Russia and China.
Editor notes a record deer kill weekend with many hunters in Vermont. Reports speak of healthy deer, some fatalities, gunshot injuries, and landowner concerns over damage.

In New York a provocative critique warns that King’s planned talks with North and South Vietnam and U.S. representatives will not end the Vietnam War. It argues Moscow seeks to dominate Indian Ocean shores and Middle East oil, outlining Soviet moves from South Asia to the Mediterranean and warning of broader American consequences if a map is not read.
A reader argues that ending Vietnam war spending and allowing Southeast Asian nations to go Communist would boost U.S. profits. He claims capital would emerge from Communist systems via exports and later limited free enterprise, citing The Value Line Investment Survey as inspiration. He warns foreign investment is impractical and urges sending salesmen, not soldiers.
A humorous reminiscence about Little Monster, a water loving cat. The narrative contrasts his lively nocturnal antics with a dog owner’s worries about hydrophobia while detailing his tub escapade. He enjoys baths in water, sometimes dipping paws, and once slipped into the tub, getting soaked and embarrassed. The owner recalls laughter and seeks a way to apologize.
New York Governor Rockefeller secured voter approval for a $2.5 billion mass transportation bond issue, a move he framed as essential to modernizing highways, airports, and commuting. The campaign featured a statewide, personal drive, with Rockefeller selling the plan to civic leaders and media, easing future tax considerations while freeing funds from highway budgets for other needs.
No other governor begins 1968 with a stronger setup than Nelson Rockefeller as he solidifies support, outlines policy readiness, and maintains a lead in key endorsements. The campaign emphasizes experience, cross party appeal, and statewide visibility to deter rivals.
