Walter Lippmann notes in The Banner that Joseph Alsop fills in while he is away and observes how the presidency has transformed. He contrasts Teddy Roosevelt’s fence with today’s security, the New Deal era ceremo nial, and the intense guard presence shaping voter choices today.

It cites Bay of Pigs handling and warns against civilian control of military actions, urging candid debate on foreign policy and fiscal risks.

Readers criticize a Burlington group for claiming Conservative ties and endorse Vermont Conservative Council positions on taxes, tourism, and representation.
