Nixon campaign spending dwarfs 1964 totals in study
A study by Dr. Herbert J. Alexander shows Nixon spent about 249 million in his 1968 November run, nearly matching the total for both candidates in 1964, with over 10 million more on the primary trail. Humphrey's 20.3 million fall spend left the Democratic Party deeply in debt while McCarthy Kennedy Rockefeller polled near or above 10 million in nomination bids.

Costs of hot convention fights loom large in 1968 race
A study notes George C. Wallace raised more for his 1968 run than Humphrey, with Wallace spending about 7 million and ending with surplus. Humphrey's fall fundraising was under 5 million, while a Democratic bill seeks additional funds. The top donor listed was Nelson A. Rockefeller's stepmother at 1.5 million, and overall spending reached near 1 million weekly before the campaign ended by assassination. Projections for 1972 suggest similar costs, with Nixon’s top backers including W. Clement Stone, Max Fisher, and Henry Salvatori.

Times Pentagon archive ban extended over weekend
An appeals court judge extended a ban on the New York Times publishing secret Pentagon Vietnam archives through the weekend. The order came as U.S. District Judge Murray Gurfein denied a government request to end publication temporarily, with further stay possible from the Court of Appeals. The case also touched the Washington Post, which faced a similar restraint, while Judge Kaufman noted he would not rule on merits yet to avoid mootness.

Smoking linked to clotting after vascular surgery study
Cleveland surgeons report dramatic evidence that cigarette smoking after aneurysm and arterial surgery raises blood clot risk. In a five year study of 102 patients with synthetic grafts, nine smokers developed late vessel blockages, while non-smokers did not. More than 30 percent were heavy smokers. The authors urge complete smoking cessation to gain any benefit from surgery. They note high limb amputation risk among continuing smokers with arterial disease.
