Michel Siffre, a 32 year old French experimenter, will descend 200 feet into Midnight Cave near Del Rio Texas to live alone for up to 200 days seeking a 48 hour day. He hopes to reveal the mechanism of the 48 hour rhythm and its potential for sleep science and long space flights.

Soviet unions passive actors in wage policy under central planners
Western unions gain share of costs while Soviet labor profits rise. CCTU and Soviet bodies offer little wage influence as wages fall from 20.9% to 16.6% of production costs from 1958 to 1968, despite profits jumping 400% and profitability climbing to 20.5% by 1969. Wages barely outpace 1963–69 gains in Western nations.

Executives from First National City Bank and Bank of America of San Francisco signal cautious exploration, noting possible borrowing cost declines but citing timing and market sensitivity.
