...Dominy's recommendation, Udall ordered Glen Canyon's gates opened. That was like pulling the plug on one bathtub and letting the water drain into another (see map). In this case, the Glen Canyon water flowed, at 18,000 cu. ft. per sec., 370 miles downriver to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. The water is still running, which is fine for the folks in Phoenix and Los Angeles. But the water loss to the Upper Basin is drying up Lake Powell, and with it the hopes there for new electric power in the near future...
...getting ready to begin his campaign for the Democratic senatorial nomination from Ohio. Glenn slipped on a throw rug, while trying to hoist a mirror back onto its tracks in the bathroom of his Columbus apartment, and cracked the left side of his head against the bathtub. The blow injured his inner ear, disrupting the vital apparatus that governs coordination, equilibrium and balance (see MEDICINE). Glenn had hoped that he would recover in time to resign from the Marines and wage a whirlwind campaign against peppery but aging (74) Democratic Senator Stephen Young before Ohio's May 5 primary...
...much more than a hearing device, as both doctors and laymen were sharply reminded last week by the repercussions of what happened in Colonel John Glenn's inner ear when he "spun in" and banged his head on the edge of a bathtub. Just inside a man's ears is an exquisitely delicate mechanism, the workings of which are not fully understood. When that mechanism is damaged, as in Glenn's case, by what his doctors at first called "a mild concussion," medical men are sometimes baffled because they cannot see into the inner ear to find...
Astronaut John Glenn launched himself into Ohio politics in January when he decided to run against peppery old (74) Senator Stephen Young for the Democratic senatorial nomination. But four days before he was to retire from the Marine Corps, Glenn, 42, slipped, fell, and cracked his head against the bathtub in a Columbus apartment. He began to hear ringing in his ears. He had dizzy spells and nausea whenever he moved his head. Postponing his retirement, Glenn checked into a San Antonio military hospital...
...flat on his back most of the time. He is unable to walk at all unless he tilts his head forward at a 45° angle, holds it perfectly still and then shuffles along with his feet spread far apart. His doctor, Earl W. Brannon, says that the bathtub blow hit just slightly above Glenn's left ear, sending shock waves crashing into his inner ear, possibly causing swelling and some hemorrhaging. "He botched up his equilibrium center to a pretty good degree," explains Brannon...
