Because of Meyer, the Vermont political campaign has displayed clearly the line between political conformity and political foresight. The Republicans are faced with issues which neither they nor the voters of the state had confronted before Meyer's surprising election in 1958; their only choice has been to appeal to the voter's fears. Their candidate, Governor Robert Stafford, has alternately been forced to sing a paean to American military strength and to label Meyer "dangerously naive...

Because the twentieth century, post-frontier farm problem was something inconceivable to the framers; and because public education was a negligible affair until the middle of the nineteenth century...
Last week, after watching both papers prosper, and the Tribune and the News become almost even in circulation and quality, John Francis Fitzpatrick died of a heart attack at 73. With characteristic foresight, he had decided years ago on his successor: John W. Gallivan, 45. On Fitzpatrick's death the Tribune, in open defiance of the old man's longstanding order, ran his picture on Page One, thereby providing many subscribers with their first glimpse of the ungregarious Irishman who had greatly altered and immeasurably improved Utah's journalistic landscape...
