Finally Jimson, wearied by the forces of Philistinism, pulls up his anchor and sails into the Thames. He passes the side of a huge freighter, and thinking of a new vision, contorts his body like a statue of Mercury as he blocks out the imaginary lines. As Jimson passes under London Bridge, Nosey, the boy, calls out to him though he knows he will be unheard: "Michelangelo, Raphael, Picasso--you're one of them, Mr. Jimson...

Into San Diego harbor aboard a freighter from Italy came the tubby, homely little bathyscaphe Trieste, launched by Auguste Piccard and his son Jacques in 1953. Last summer the Navy rented the craft for research dives off Capri, recently bought it from the Piccards for $200,000. A new one would have cost...
