...seven inhabitants of an underwater village celebrated last week the end of a full month beneath the waves. For the village's mayor, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, 53, co-inventor of the Aqua-Lung that made modern skindiving possible, it was a double-barreled occasion. Down on the bottom, he celebrated his 26th wedding anniversary, and his wife Simone dropped in with a cake in a waterproof container...
Cousteau does not explain too clearly how this might be done, but there is nothing unscientific about his idea that men can live under water for considerable periods. He thinks that in the not too distant future, the sea bottom will be inhabited, perhaps by underwater farmers growing algae and undersea cattlemen herding seafood...
Southwark slices the British social system from top to bottom.

...Argonauts get into all sorts of telegenic scrapes. In one episode, the Argo is sailing through a maritime falling-rock zone, with boulders crashing into the sea from viselike cliffs. Hera, watching the show live, sends Triton from the bottom of the sea to hold the rocks apart so the Argo can sail past. Jason sails on to get the Golden Fleece. He needs this gelt pelt in order to claim the throne of Thessaly, but it is watched over by the Hydra, as disgusting a monster as ever writhed and roared on the screen. Hydra has more heads than...
