...worshiped her husband, a 6-ft. 10-in. former basketball center at Marquette University, and she routinely laid out his suit, socks and underwear in the morning. But barely two years after they were married, she testified, her husband struck her on the side of the head, rupturing an eardrum. Mrs. Fedders recounted that when she was pregnant with her first son, Fedders attacked her with his fists, pummeling her in the abdomen. Said she: "I remember he was yelling he didn't care if he killed me or killed the baby." Another time, she recalled, he grabbed...
Twangy guitars, Beatlesque two-part harmonies and a fortress-strong rhythm section--brother Robert on drums and Chris Donato on bass--reinforce the tunes admirably.

Ex-Ranger Crewman Neil Hodgson, 18, of Detroit, claimed that a beating in the ship's CCU left him with a ruptured eardrum.

Then through the perforation, he blows antibiotic powders into the ear canal behind the eardrum to prevent infection.

...Sunday. Four guards came in and put me on my knees. They began slapping me around. Soon they were using their fists, and one of them pulled out a fan belt and began beating me with it. One blow by a fist on the ear ruptured my eardrum. Blood was pouring down my head. A kick popped one of my ribs. They turned into mad dogs. They began smashing my head against the concrete floor, kicking my bad leg. It went on for three hours. I think some other guards finally had to stop them...
