...spend some $12 million altogether. He spent $3,000,000 in the last week alone, most of it on TV. The deeply divided Democratic Party began to show signs of belated unity. Humphrey wound up his campaign odyssey of more than 98,000 miles amid laughter, with a triumphant Los Angeles parade and a four-hour telethon with Edmund Muskie. Humphrey flew home to Waverly, Minn., during the early hours of Election Day to vote in Marysville Township, his home precinct, which gave him 385 votes to Nixon's 128 and 15 for Wallace...

The triumphant flight of Zond 5 and the test of its voice-communications system left little doubt that the Russians are racing to send a manned flight around the moon ahead of the U.S. which now plans to fly three astronauts on a lunar mission in December. The number of Russian space launchings announced this year-36 to only 18 for the U.S.-adds weight to the theory that the Soviets are working overtime on their space program...
