The California Supreme Court ruled 6-1 that an initiative to restore the death penalty will stay on the November ballot.

Spassky Fends Off Fischer Aggressive Attacks
Spassky survived two aggressive sequences by Fischer as the American pressed with queen threats on Spassky s kingside bishop pawn and a check. The champion used his bishop to force Fischer s rook to guard forward pawns, isolating them from a potential mate. Spassky escaped again after a rook captured his bishop and another check followed. Larsen noted Russian chances for a draw shortly before adjournment.
