...sure, some formidable obstacles would have to be overcome before his scheme could become reality. At its midpoint, a Washington-Boston tunnel would be five miles below the surface of the eartha technically difficult and prohibitively costly bit of construction. In addition., the subterranean temperature at a five-mile depth might be as high as 265° F., and a passenger vehicle would need an immense cooling system. Finally, because a perfect vacuum could not be created within the tunnel, and because the vehicle would probably have to ride on some sort of rail, friction would slow it down-leaving...
...first midtown "waistcoat" park, and the first privately endowed public park in the city. Designed by Zion, it will feature a canopy of 24 intertwined locust trees, individual chairs and a kiosk for sandwiches and soft drinks. Mirrors on the side walls will add a feeling of depth, and a sheet of water cascading over the entire length of the back wall will help drown out some of the city noises.

...Navy minesweeper located what was thought to be the missing bomb 1,200 ft. under water. Though frogmen were readily available, the bomb lay far below the depth at which SPECTRE's flippered villains so easily recovered the "Thunderball" of James Bond's latest cinematic adventure.

In order to recover the bomb, American officials called on devices that even Ian Fleming had never conceived: the whale-shaped Aluminaut (TIME, Sept. 11, 1964), a 51-ft., three-man sub devised by General Dynamics Corp. to probe 17,000 ft. beneath...
...help of Tony van Bridge, the fire is there -- the play often wraps and wiggles with the power of a python. The Charles, in short, deserves a medal both for its courage in attempting Galileo and for its large measure of success in setting off so many of the depth charges which Brecht placed in this play...
