...dozen hopefuls in 1968 as opposed to two in that year. Candidates traditionally inflate their foes' spending and poor-mouth their own, but their counterclaims give a good indication of the money involved. McCarthy's aides maintain that the Kennedy camp is spending $3,500,000 in California on television alone; an Indiana foe of both R.F.K.'s and McCarthy's says that each lavished $2,000,000 on the primary there...
...Finance Chairman Maurice Stans says that the figure will reach $5,000,000 before the convention. A conservative estimate of totals spent on all the primaries to date: New Hampshire, $675,000; Indiana, $1,250,000; Nebraska, $600,000; Oregon, $1,350,000; and California, at least $3,100,000. In Wisconsin, according to official if not quite credible reports, Nixon spent $457,534, McCarthy $342,527 and L.B.J...
...down is Kennedy's. In addition to paying for a three-floor Washington headquarters, an army of arm-twisters and saturation-of-publicity media-not to mention his bill for the dozens of cuff links seized by avid admirers-Bobby in Indiana, Nebraska and California has rented trains at a total cost of $8,700. No one has even attempted to reckon the cost to Kennedy of supporting the 13 relatives who are campaigning for him in the field, but their daily phone calls home must cost-by anyone else's standards-a minor fortune...
From Rose to Freckles. For sheer spectacle, of course, no one outperforms the Kennedys, who, as Mother Rose remarked in California last week, "more or less inaugurated this business of family campaigning when John Kennedy ran for the Senate in 1952." Since Bobby's March 16 announcement, all the clan from Rose to Freckles, the Senator's Irish spaniel, has swarmed across the landscape to pursue voters. While Brother-in-Law Stephen Smith and Brother Teddy manage campaign logistics and strategy, Sisters Jean and Pat, Sister-in-Law Joan and Cousin Polly Fitzgerald descend upon the distaff electorate...
...Four. Another big winner was the man who finished second: California's Dan Gurney, 37, whose All American Racers, Inc., manufactured the rugged, sweet-handling Eagles driven by Bobby, Dan himself and the fourth-place finisher, New Zealand's Denis Hulme. Long one of the world's most talented racing drivers, Gurney turned to building his own cars in 1964, and the results have been little short of sensational. Last year, in a smaller version of the Eagle, he won the Belgian Grand Prix-the first Grand Prix victory scored by a U.S. car since...
