Corcoran protests secrecy over selectmen meeting
Former Bennington selectman Timothy R. Corcoran says he will file a formal complaint with State's Attorney Raymond E. Bolton about yesterdays executive session. He says the panel discussed personnel and an evaluation of the town manager in a closed session, a topic not allowed to be kept private under the Right-to-Know law. Corcoran criticizes chairman Richard B. Leake for denying attendance by him and a Banner reporter. Leake defends the session as necessary to avoid turning the matter into a media event and insists personnel actions were discussed.

Peace talks in Middle East stumble over U.N. signals
U.N. sources in Geneva say a December resumption of Middle East peace talks is planned for December 21. In New York Israeli Ambassador Chaim Herzog and Egyptian Ambassador Ahmed Esmat Abdel Meguid voiced no awareness of such plans during the General Assembly debate on settlements. Meguid condemned settlements as occupation while Herzog defended Israel’s rights, signaling a breakdown in peace prospects and widening gaps on PLO participation. Saudi foreign minister warned of a breakdown risking war, while the EEC refused to sever ties with Israel or recognize the PLO.
