  • Coverage in the September, 1968 issue of Chess Life.

  • According to Burt Hochberg, (editor of Chess Life, but maybe the best editor Chess life ever had, but even so, take it with a grain of salt), attendance at this tournament did not fall off due to Fischer's absence. Hochberg claimed to have attended every round of every US Championship for the previous four years, so he should know what he's talking about. Maybe it means that Fischer was less popular than chess itself.
