...River (the city's limits at that point) had been "devastated." The French Communist daily L'Humanité also said that the Chinese embassy had been "touched by a projectile," whatever that meant. Peking caught the clue, soon put out a dispatch claiming that U.S. planes had "dive-bombed" the embassy and hit the nearby office of the New China News Agency...
...Greenmen scored twice in the first half--on a 2-yard dive by Bennett in the first quarter, and on a beautiful 75-yard gallop with a screen pass from halfback Bill Donovan...

It will take two crewmen and two scuba divers to a maximum depth of 1,500 ft., where the divers can exit to the water from a pressurized compartment, returning to live aboard...
