The Bennington Banner is a daily newspaper issued except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street Bennington Vermont. This notice outlines the editorial section's scope and publication routine.
The United States shifts toward recognizing Chiang Kai-shek’s diminished role while debating Formosa’s future. It notes Chiang’s loss of legitimate rule over the mainland and the island, with Beijing and Chiang each claiming sovereignty. It argues self determination favors an independent Formosa, free of both Chinas, though practical constraints exist.
The Vermont state government struggles to replace its aging car fleet as subsidies from manufacturers shrink. New cars now cost about $2,600 each, up from the former $2,000 price, while state vehicles are provisioned to many employees for official use amid ongoing dissatisfaction with the arrangement.
A Vermont editorial laments the slow release of state cost data and calls for tighter auto usage controls. It contrasts Pakistan's 300000 dead with modern tech, critiques public spending, and urges GAO scrutiny of SST subsidies ahead of a Senate funding vote.
In a two hour Washington Post interview, J Edgar Hoover defends the FBI and attacks Ramsey Clark calling him a jellyfish and a softie. The piece notes Hoover’s sensitivity to criticism and the agency’s reach across American society, drawing contrast with past critiques.
A collection of letters to The Banner includes a pro faith message insisting we will survive through God and light amid worldly trials, a rebuke of labeling opponents as terrorists, and quotes from Joseph H. Blatchford and others on moral and political issues. The page also contains critical remarks about Vermont constitutional changes and discussions of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, his power, and public scrutiny. The tone is opinionated and era-specific, mixing religious exhortation with political commentary.
Reader laments the bookshelves and media coverage as The Greening of America by Yale Law School professor Charles Reich faces sharp criticism. Alsop in Newsweek calls it scary music, while Reich’s ideas are accused of vague definitions and fascist overtones. The letter questions 1776 references, government roles, and university influence.
A New York governor's win over Arthur Goldberg keeps the Eastern Establishment alive and preserves room for liberal Republicans in 1972. Rockefeller's victory may shape future York politics and affect Nixon's White House calculus, with figures like Lindsay, Percy, Hatfield, Case, Brooke, and Lindsay center stage as potential allies or rivals. The piece analyzes campaign precision and the risk of a sharp right turn for the party.
