Richard Bugbee, a teacher at Vermont's Essex High School, ''is being honored as one of the nation's most respected teachers,'' reports Internet Broadcasting Systems. An unnamed student nominated Bugbee for inclusion in Who's Who Among America's Teachers, published by Educational Communications Inc.

Vermont, the head cheese state.
