Director of the Office of Management and Budget David Stockman was a breath of fresh air in Washington [NATION, July 22]. His candid Stockmanisms broke through the murky atmosphere of partisan political rhetoric like rays of sunshine.

Originally built for ocean submersion, the craft had to be packed with a special foam embedded with air-filled glass bubbles to provide the greater buoyancy needed in less dense fresh water. The Sea-Link looks more like an underwater helicopter than a submarine. It has a bubble-like cockpit that seats the pilot and a scientist, and its nine reversible thrusters allow it to move in any direction or hover in place. Cameras and lights are mounted on the outside...
