Bushnell has had little training as an inventor. Reared on a farm near Saybrook, he was 30 before he could raise the money to enter Yale. He enrolled as a divinity student, but his chief interest was in natural philosophy and mechanics. He learned that Dutch Engineer Cornelius van Drebbel had devised a "sinkable boat" in the 1620s, and after his graduation last year, he finished building a similar craft on secluded Poverty Island in the Connecticut River...
...produced by Irwin (Towering Inferno) Allen: The Swarm (bees do it) and The Day the World Ended. Each will cost well over $12 million.

But it was not until last fall, when he stepped before the cameras on Saturday Night, that Cornelius ("Chevy") Chase discovered his full potential. He fell over. Slowly, gracefully and with complete abandon, Chevy's 6-ft. 4-in. frame crumpled to the floor, accompanied by the giggles, then laughs and finally roars of laughter from the studio audience...
