The piece surveys candidates and endorsements in the Vermont House primaries. It notes Gov. Davis backs nobody yet hints at Mallory, Speaker Kennedy backs Alden, Buckley stays neutral, Crispe backs Thomas but touts Giles, and Westphal faces conservative rivals. It mentions various other supporters and the overall voter confusion as endorsements flow in.
A miscellany from Montpelier and Bennington covers letter salutation errors, school policy curbs after 6 pm at Mt. Anthony facilities, youthful political engagement at Republican and Democratic caucuses, a quip about King Arthur, and state Treasurer Frank H. Davis announcing the temporary suspension of Vermont’s Municipal Bond Bank. Stewart advocates bulk purchasing for savings in heating oil and buses.
Montpelier officials weigh the Bond Bank as a mechanism to consolidate and resell local issues at lower rates. Davis notes demand may fall next year, but Emerick argues it can still reduce taxes by cutting paper costs and improving marketability. Vermont officials and leaders defend the program while acknowledging softer local enthusiasm.
Jamaica author reflects on village dogs and city life, tracing how the dog man partnership evolved from rugged working dogs to urban pets. He contrasts ancient hunts, breeds, and hunter ethics with modern toy dogs, lamenting confinement and loss of outdoor companionship.
Teddy Kollek, Jerusalem’s mayor, says the city is at peace now that it is no longer divided and employs thousands of Arabs and Israelis. He contrasts quiet Jerusalem with ongoing conflicts in Belfast and in American cities, noting the recent grenade incident but deeming the overall mood peaceful.
In 1966 Jerusalem remained torn by memory and division yet showed signs of healing as 70,000 Arabs and 225,000 Israelis engaged in economic integration. Teddy Kollek promotes a physically integrated city with shared spaces while religious shrines stay under denominational control. The piece notes the UN’s limited role and cites Ambassador Yosef Tekoah’s stance on Jerusalem. A separate amusing anecdote from a playground illustrates social humor in the same issue.
