McGovern Aides Optimistic Ahead Of Campaign Meetings
Senator George McGovern and his strategists gather at Sylvan Lake Lodge in Custer South Dakota for a marathon planning weekend. They express optimism despite polls showing Nixon ahead. McGovern says he expects to win and aides note their campaign structure is far more developed than in 1968. President Nixon leads 56 to 37 in current polling, but McGovern’s team argues polls miss voter discontent and enthusiasm gaps. Patrick Caddell, McGovern's pollster, cites a nationwide survey far larger than Gallup's usual sample as central to campaign planning.

Nitpicking opens Hanrahan trial in Chicago
Special Prosecutor Barnabas Sears opened the case against State's Atty. Edward V. Hanrahan, calling it a historic chapter while defense lawyers objected repeatedly. The trial, in its third week, has featured daily procedural wrangling and warnings about nit picking. Prosecution plans more than 100 witnesses, defense about 50, with eight already testifying. The indictment charges conspiracy to obstruct justice in a raid on Dec 4, 1969, that left Fred Hampton and Mark Clark dead.
