New England higher education seen as regional rebirth key
Two professors from University of Rhode Island and a guest researcher argue regional educational excellence can restore New England’s historic leadership in American education. They note 1960 census outflow reversed by 1970, with rising high school and college attainment across six states, though gaps remain, especially in Rhode Island and three cities with low adult high school completion.

Middlemen profit from new record food prices
A UPI report from the Agriculture Department shows September set a new high in the cost of a typical market basket, with overall retail food costs rising 9 percent year over year to 1776 dollars. Farmers’ returns fell while middlemen’s margins hit a record 1053 dollars, driven by higher processing and marketing costs and gains in meats and oils. Also noted are farm price shifts for cattle, poultry, eggs, vegetables, and a televised governor candidate debate at Mt. Anthony Union Junior High. The Bennington Banner details local openings and ads for Napolitano’s pizzas, a Rock and Roll venue, and recurring classifieds.

Nixon surgeon still possible says physician
Former President Richard Nixon remains under treatment for phlebitis in Long Beach California. His personal physician Dr John Clungren said bleeding from gums is a minor side effect of anticoagulant therapy and that surgery could still be required. Tests across U S medical centers are exploring why a small group of phlebitis patients do not respond to treatment while doctors assess possible venous tying or clamping options and vein rerouting.

Nixon halts special courier flights to Nixon estate
President Ford ordered a halt to air courier flights carrying classified foreign policy information to former President Richard Nixon in California. The White House offered no details beyond stating alternate delivery methods are under study and Nixon continues to receive such reports, with the last flight two weeks ago at a cost of about 6500 dollars per round trip. Ford aims to cut the federal budget by eliminating marginal programs and discussed budget plans with economic advisers amid ongoing election considerations. In related activity, about 100 students enjoyed a teacher convention day at the Community Recreation Center with tournaments, swimming, and a water carnival.
