1972 Press Photo Astronaut John Glenn at Columbus, Ohio Office - sax08434

John Glenn, a decade after becoming the first American to orbit the earth, poses in his office in Columbus, Ohio, flanked by mementos and trophies of his space achievements. Much has happened to Glenn, back on earth again in these ten years. He retired from the Marine Corps, became a business executive and is now part owner of four motels. He has made two unsuccessful runs for the Senate, in Democratic primaries and he's still interested in politics - with an eye on the next Senate seat in Ohio in 1974.
