Canadian boy regains eye sight after complex surgery
Loyd Keates, a six year old from Revelstoke BC, faced three months in hospital after a hard rubber ball shattered his retina. Surgeon Dr. H MacKenzie Freeman in Boston used an upside down operating table and a retinal balloon to reposition tissue. The patient left for home with vision in both eyes and hope for normal sight, following four difficult operations. Spary Duarterman and Duncan Cage wed in Reno jail, wearing denim uniforms, after being arrested for gun possession. They married in custody, with a police officer and five prisoners as witnesses. In Illinois, Philip A Crane won the 19th District seat, defeating Edward Warman by about 20,000 votes, signaling approval of Nixon’s Vietnam policies. Crane, a professor and writer, opposed further troop withdrawal and tax increases.

Drying Up of Falls Over as 'Plug' Pulled
Niagara Falls observers debate the value of a study to control erosion as water flows over the American Falls for the first time in six months. The International Joint Commission and U S Army Corps of Engineers diverted water to study rock slides and erosion with a large coffer dam in the Niagara River above the falls. Col. Ray Hansen called the tests worthwhile while local merchants report shorter visits from tourists, though Frontier Park officials say visitors still come to view the phenomenon.
