DIED. HOWARD KOCH, 93, screenwriter; in Woodstock, New York. A lawyer, Koch wrote radio plays for Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre, notably 1938's panic-provoking War of the Worlds broadcast.

The two Deep Flight I vehicles, which Hawkes began with the company but completed independently, were financed by several film and television firms and Scientific Search Project, a marine-archaeology company...
Hawkes' eventual goal is to give away the plans for Deep Flight I free to anyone who wants them. When Deep Flight II is finished, he hopes, trips to the deepest abyss could become almost routine. Today, the larger craft is still looking for a patron, but Hawkes is undaunted. "We'll get the funding," he says confidently. "After all, one Deep Flight costs less than what you need for an America's Cup campaign--and the payoff is 10 times as rewarding...
