Fred Wertheimar argues that campaign finance reform is altering American presidential politics in 1976. He notes challengers like Reagan, Udall, Carter, and McCarthy rising without heavy private money, while public funds and small donors broaden access. He warns Congress delayed reforms threaten future races and urges vigilance to prevent elite capture.

California Senate backs 57 million anti smoking campaign plan
The California Senate approved a proposal to fund a statewide anti smoking campaign with a two cent per carton cigarette tax increase. If passed, funds would go to a general revenue account for TV radio newspaper and billboard ads. Supporters say it could set precedents as the first smoker funded anti smoking effort and reflect rising cross party concern over smoke pollution. Opponents warn of government overreach and tax impacts on smokers.
