Monday, April 15 THE UNDERSEA WORLD OF JACQUES COUSTEAU (ABC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). "Search in the Deep." The oceanauts of the Calypso journey to the Island of Europa in the Mozambique Channel, foremost breeding ground of giant green sea turtles, those mysterious and ancient armored behe moths that sometimes grow to 800 Ibs. and the span of two arms' lengths across their shells...
...Israeli artillery pounded an evacuated village, and Jordanian 155-mm. Long Toms zeroed in on seven kibbutzim. As the duel spread south toward Jericho along a 65-mile front, the Israelis called in their jets, sending waves of fighter-bombers across the river and behind the Gilead mountains deep into Jordanian territory to bomb out the Long Toms...
Time to Study. That was expectable from a girl who trains on such exercises as 40 deep knee bends with a 150-lb. barbell across her shoulders.

What he found has become the basis of a new theory that-if proven valid-will have earth-shaking implications in the field of geophysics...

There are reams of the kind of beautiful travel and nature writing for which his Bitter Lemons, Prospero's Cell and Reflections on a Marine Venus have been praised. There are flashes of the ribald wit that makes his volumes about the British diplomatic corps such delights. But there is also much over writing. The book is littered with show-off phrases such as "alembicated piety" and "the penetralia of one's self-regard." The mixed metaphors are painful...
