WASHINGTON (AP) —
Is Astronaut John H. Glenn
thinking about attempting a
political orbit — perhaps in
next year's race for the
United States senate?
Glenn replies to such speculation that he has no time
for politics. A spokesman for
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration comments that political guesswork about Glenn sounds like
a trial balloon.
But the speculation persists in Washington military
circles, and some Ohio politicians say they wouldn't be
