Former President Gerald Ford told Yale Law School students he was hurt by only 8 percent of the black vote in the 1976 campaign while noting stronger support from some Chicano and Jewish groups than Nixon. He concluded a 24 day Ivy League fellowship visit, returned the $2,000 payment, and pressed donations to fund a public life scholarship and a Ford scholar athlete award.

Balloonist Karl Thomas resumes transcontinental attempt
Balloonist Karl Thomas lifted off from Rock Creek Airport Montana amid a four day wind setback aiming to reach near Billings about 260 miles away before nightfall as his 20 person crew and 12 trucks followed from Arizona.
