The Bennington Banner is published daily except Sundays and holidays by Banner Publishing Corporation at 425 Main Street Bennington Vermont 05201. It serves as the local daily newspaper with regional news prime focus and community notices.
Sen McCarthy argues a bid in the 1968 Democratic primaries could pressure Johnson to reassess Vietnam policy. He seeks a clear antiwar alternative, noting Democrats and independents lack a formal channel to express discontent, while Republicans offer no cohesive plan. The move, while unlikely to win the nomination, could spur needed policy changes.
The Banner welcomes George B. Gordon to the editorial page for Saturday conservation comment. Highlights include Vermonts national Christmas tree controversy, a $350000 Roaring Branch flood control appropriation, Woodstock Inn demolition for a Rockefeller hotel, and preparations for the Christmas Cotillion benefiting United Counseling Service.
Washington marks the fifth year of Johnson's presidency, noting fatigue at the top and difficulties in recruiting first-rate leaders. Rusk and McNamara toil 12 to 13 hours daily, with travel and jet-lag. Moyers departs. Gardner's HEW leadership stands out amid a stalling foreign policy and scarce new ideas. A year hence, exits seem likely.
JAMAPA RAY BALLANTINE runs a Route 30 garage and serves as deputy sheriff while reflecting on how Vermont newcomers resist local ways. The piece weighs progress versus tradition, cites zoning and land use debates, school expansion, and state changes, and closes with a sunrise vignette and a dog named Veep.
Washington dispatch sketches David Slavitt, poet turned entrepreneur, as founder of a rent-a-pseudonym agency. Once a modest poet earning meager royalties, he built a niche business by licensing pen names, transforming his career and finances with unexpected success.
A letter questions using auxiliary state police for Shaftsbury bridge traffic, proposing detours and signage instead to save taxpayers. The text shifts to discuss David Slavitt’s career, his Henry Sutton pseudonym, a sensational novel, and plans to franchise the alias for other authors and co authoring tricks.
A New York column argues Che Guevara’s Bolivian failure undermines the Castroite plan for peasant-based revolutions in Latin America. It contrasts rural campesinos with urban power centers, cites Cuban officials involved, and questions Maoist peasant encirclement as a driving force.
