Greece and Turkey immediately accepted the plan; Greek and Turkish Cypriots rejected it. Russia, ever eager to fish in troubled waters, insisted on a United Nations truce force, which Moscow hoped to control by virtue of its veto in the U.N. Security Council. Bearded Archbishop Makarios, neutralist President of Cyprus, would also prefer a U.N. mission, since he fears that a NATO contingent would lead to an actual partition of the island between Greek and Turkish communities. Nonetheless, Makarios knows well that if he rejects the Anglo-U.S. proposal, he will risk renewed savagery and possible invasion of Cyprus...
...FISH, which are increasingly difficult to find among the wakes of powerboats, are now indicated by Aqua-Ear, an underwater sonic system that tells the fisherman where to cut off the engine. And the underwater swimmer, after years of face masks that cut vision from 180° to 75° and made the prettiest girl look like a sea monster, can now buy a new kind of contact lens: a tiny mask made of shatterproof plastic that covers the entire eyeball. Invented by Washington, D.C., Optometrist Alan Grant and Navy Captain Edward Beckman, the new lenses cost $175 a pair...
...back to get it to him. God, did he take it! He took off and ran at least 130 yds. The guide poled the boat over, and I thought I had him. 'No,' said the guide. 'He'll go again.'

Continues Sam, modestly: "No one could have caught that fish unless he was an experienced fisherman. It took me 25 minutes to bring...
...deeper water where the bonefish hopefully feels more secure-but that risks a dunking, and the shrewd Bermudian floats himself out in Junior's inner tube. The best way is in a flat-bottomed skiff with an expert guide like Florida's George Hommel to spot the fish and patiently explain the technique. "You cast ahead of the fish, in the direction he's moving," says Hommel. "You try to get six to ten feet in front of him. In the grass flats, you let the lure drift, and hope he'll pick...
...fish like that commands respect, sir. Solicitude, even. "Bonefish fight so hard that they almost deserve to get away," says Pete Perinchief, 43, director of Bermuda's Fishing Information Bureau and a bonefish evangelist. He fishes only with artificial lures ("More sporting, y'know"), once caught a 13-pounder on 6-lb.-test line-and releases practically every fish he lands. He even has a technique for reviving a fish that has fought so long and hard that it no longer has the strength to swim. Gently cradling the fish in one hand, he wiggles its tail until...
