...each crewman was put on a cot in the ship's vehicle-storage room. On Saturday they were flown to Oman and released to the International Red Crescent (the Islamic version of the Red Cross) for repatriation. Their ill-fated ship was packed with explosives and scuttled in deep water off Bahrain...
Experts say France, Britain, Japan and perhaps the Soviet Union could also reach the sub. "Down to 20,000 ft., nothing's sacred anymore," says Frank Busby, an expert in deep-sea operations. "You can't put these ((vessels)) down there and call them a memorial anymore because we can reach anything." But reaching the site may be the easy part.

The difference is that consumers in 1987 can choose from many more enticing borrowing vehicles, most notably an array of credit cards with huge credit lines at high interest rates. Potentially the most dangerous new device is the home-equity loan. Homeowners...
