"We started pulling all the stuff in and that's when the tank blew.

Holy cripes, it went." Within minutes, Williams' crew was on the scene and picked the Breitensteins up. "They barely had time to get their life jackets on before they jumped into the water," said McLemore's wife, Joan.

Tenn. (AP) She was wealthy and in her 30s. but her teeth were worn because her diet included too much sand and an oral infection caused her a lot of pain. She wasn't a Cleopatra, but she may have turned at least some heads in Egypt years ago. Her head, brought from Egypt by a traveler more than a century ago, was stored in a hatbox and taken to school occasionally for show-and-tell.

About a dozen scientists have been studying that head. They presented their first findings at Memphis State University on' Monday. The head is one of the best-preserved in the I'nited States, said Egyptologist Rita Freed. A "rosette'' or flower design on the side of the head indicates the woman died about 300 B.C. The woman was 30 to 40 years old when she died, said Hugh Berryman, a forensic anthropologist at the University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences who directed the team of scientists.

"She wasn't a Cleopatra, but she probably wasn't unattractive," Berryman said. The woman's teeth were badly worn, probably from eating rough foods accidentally laced with desert sand, said oral pathologist Dr. James Hamner. She had an infection on the left side ot her mouth and had to eat on the right side. "She only had two of her 12 molars left." Hamner said.

The cause of death could not be determined, but the woman's infected teeth meant she was in "a good deal of pain," Berryman said. "Keep in mind there were no antibiotics 2.300 years ago." The head belongs to the family of Donald G.
