The Bennington Banner is published daily except Sundays and holidays by the Banner Publishing Corporation. It lists 425 Main Street, Bennington, Vermont 05201 as the office location.
The announcement fails to electrify the nation or GOP ranks as Vermont leaders and pollsters express tepid enthusiasm and skepticism. Romney's past record and a vow to reassess Vietnam and East West policy could win disheartened voters if he keeps arguing for alternative paths and a reformist Republican approach.
Editor notes discuss long standing debate over Bennington College remaining female only with rare nods to coed shifts at other schools. Reflects on population growth, Vermont changes, and a flashy recent daylight robbery on the Flats as a local curiosity.
The piece notes mounting doubt over Johnson's Vietnam policy among 90th Congress officeholders and voters. It highlights Shirley Temple Black's GOP loss to Paul McCloskey, Udall's deescalation stance and broad antiwar letters, plus the risk for Democrats to distance from Johnson before the 1968 election while debating withdrawal timing and political wind trends.
In Searsburg Mountain Chatter recalls early hunting days with improvised gear and the hunt's innocence, then shifts to Thanksgiving reflections. The piece contrasts past hunts with modern abundance, honors American origins of Thanksgiving, and ends with a blessing for liberty and a Happy Thanksgiving.
The piece questions the Dec 4 national resistance protest against the draft, arguing its motives vary and that government policy lacks a declared crisis or war. It condemns selective conscription and IQ based exemptions as unconstitutional and cites Ronald Reagan’s comments on Vietnam participation.
A Letter to the Editor argues that Bennington Taxpayers Protective Association misframes who pays local taxes. It claims industry creates jobs and profits, while wages flow to workers who earn money for industry. Local taxes are only a small portion of industry costs.
A Shaftsbury correspondent questions tax fairness arguing local taxes fund education while federal taxes subsidize armaments. The letter endorses a voluntary army in Vietnam and criticizes conscription and a national crusade, referencing Reagan and wartime policy as choices for individual judgment.
