Million-dollar Hatch faces PAC money pressure in Utah race
Senator Orrin Hatch, Utah Republican leader, faces his first million-dollar PAC fundraising, though he refuses to return the money. His Democratic challenger, Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson, has raised 1.2 million. Hatch’s $2.2 million total includes 749,000 from over 500 PACs as both camps vie to the wire in a high-stakes race.

Hatch leads as most funded Utah Senate race
Hatch has raised more PAC money than any U S Senate candidate, aiming for near one million from around 40 000 individuals while spending at least 2 5 million total. Wilson trails in spending as both campaigns flood TV radio and print ads amid national interest group involvement and a tight Utah contest with Reagan backing.

Nixon says lies needed in politics says hypocrisy part of office
Nixon tells ABC Good Morning America that a president may lie about beliefs without immoral intent. He says hypocrisy is common to politics and sometimes necessary to win and stay in power. He argues means must be weighed against goals and claims he did not cross the line as president. He adds he criticizes privately and supports publicly when appropriate. The interview promotes his book Leaders and was taped last week.
