An editorial argues freedom requires constant vigilance citing a Vermont Supreme Court ruling protecting a teacher's petition rights and Frank Wilkinson's Bennington College talk on government repression. It criticizes the U.S. Supreme Court, notes political arrogance, and urges focus on local transport needs like Molly Stark Trail over costly East West Highway plans.
Dorothy Van Doren muses on October's beauty and the earths enduring vitality. The column contrasts personal, local life with national scale concerns, arguing that people and families hold society together amid modern change and upheaval.
The passage extols diversity as essential to life and knowledge while warning that the urge for control pushes toward uniformity. It argues for varied education forms including large and small, religious and secular, experimental and traditional, noting shifts as Ivy League and women’s colleges admit broader populations. The House Education Committee adds a provision to higher education bills about admissions to colleges.
Quotes on equal admission policies at private colleges facing federal rules, Open Classroom trends, market ill effects of fashion and uniformity, urban housing and crime, and a critique of ecological and cultural homogenization. Notable voices include Bazelon, Mel Hocker, Archbishop Sheen, and reflections on architecture and consumer culture.
The piece argues Dover Wilmington shoppers shop Brattleboro as a local center but view Bennington trips as out-of-town. It notes Bennington dealers sometimes refuse service to Wilmington residents, toll free phone calls could boost Bennington and Deerfield Valley tourism, and regional planning may blur town divides. It ends by urging patience to foster regional cooperation and meetings.
A forged Goldberg letter is dissected for signs of fraud and anti Semitic manipulation. The piece notes pidgin English, missing articles, absence of stenographer initials, and misaddressed foreign minister as indicators of forgery.
