Dirksen's assault on the ethics package was all too successful. Clark and Case narrowly passed another amen ment restricting the use of Senate "slush funds," only to have it overturned next day by a substitute, sponsored by Tex as' Ralph Yarborough, giving sanction to the practice of accepting contributions to run Senators' offices - the sort of practice that Illinois' Charles Percy abandoned last fall because of unfavor able publicity...
...biggest sports crowd in Florida history-jammed into the Speedway, and what they saw left them limp. The yellow caution light went on for accidents eleven times. The lead changed hands no fewer than 22 times-until, just ten miles from the end, South Carolina's Cale Yarborough, 28, edged into the lead in his 1968 Mercury.

Next year, Tower will be a possibility for the governorship, along...
...state's open primary, many Republicans might cagily cross party lines to vote for Yarborough. Their purpose would be to set up the liberal Democrat for November against a conservative Republican. In that situation, tens of thousands of conservative Democrats, unable to stomach their own party's liberal candidate, would probably vote Republican...
