Further complicating matters is the failure of the city's testing lab to quickly approve the three low-flush models available. To win city certification, a toilet must be able to flush eight handfuls of tissue. One model flunked when it flushed only seven.

His wife of 45 years, Beryl Ann, better known as B.A., is a former model for Vogue and Mademoiselle who gave up her career to marry Bentsen in 1943. Of the rolling-bandage school of Senate wives, B.A. last year served as first vice chairman of the group's organization, supervising its lunch for Nancy Reagan, and headed up a March of Dimes fund raiser...
