...scheduled to be a routine mission, a dive of about an hour's duration in only a few hundred feet of water off Key West, Fla. The 23-ft.-long submersible, designed by famed Inventor-Oceanographer Edwin A. Link-whose son, E. Clayton Link, 31, was one of the four men on board-seemed more than equal to the task. Since it began operating as an oceanographic research vessel for the Smithsonian Institution two years ago, Sea-Link* had easily plunged to depths of 1,000 ft. Last week, as the minisub maneuvered in swift currents of the Gulf...

...been cut in half so far this year. One result is that tens of millions of Americans, whether they know it or not, face the prospect of retirement benefits less generous than they had hoped for, because the stocks that their pension funds invest in have gone down. The dive has mystified even top corporate executives. Robert Oster, senior vice president of California's Bank of America, the nation's largest, reports that on a recent nationwide tour he kept hearing the same refrain from corporate clients: "How the hell can we be that low on the market...

Contemplating the meaning of the title that heads up her latest volume, she answers a question...

Extra Fees. Some contractors, though, worry that they may not pull out of the dive on schedule, even when the present oversupply of new dwelling units in some areas has been filled up. The reason: increasingly tight money. As consumers continue to fuel the present surge in retail buying, and savers take note of increasingly higher returns elsewhere, they are stashing less of their money in the nation's savings and loan associations, which finance more than half of all residential construction. Such institutions may well receive a net in flow of only $20 billion during...

...himself, and within it are some delicate mechanisms that must be protected. In the work obsessions of his last years, he was possessively tended by the last of the seven major women in his life, Jacqueline Roque, 47, whom he married in 1961. The old man made his final dive into the pre-classical past, becoming more than ever the inaccessible Triton or satyr, Homo Mediterraneus padded in nymphs; that myth was his official interface with an insatiable and by now meaningless public, and the work went on behind...
