From the look of it, Veteran Actress Jacqueline Bisset is finally in over her head. During six weeks on The Deep, a new movie based on Author Peter Benchley's tale of treasure hunting off Bermuda, Bisset has spent much of her time in scuba gear under 80 ft. of water. Apart from some nasty jellyfish stings, the actress's worst moment came during a subaqueous scene with Co-Star Nick Nolte that called for her to lose her mouthpiece and head for the surface.

Young, affluent skiers, backpackers and tennis players came into A. & F. to admire its tony, well-stocked departments, but they bought their gear at cheaper places, such as Korvette's, Two Guys Stores and other discount operations catering to the outdoors set.

Then, of course, we realized what was happening: we had caught a submarine...
...everything aboard the ship is archaic: on windless days, the steel-hulled Eagle, built in 1936, vibrates with the hum of her 728-h.p. diesel engine. Power winches, not able-bodied seamen, crank the windlass to hoist anchor. In the communications shack, the latest electronic gear helps plot the ship's position. On the foremast, a slowly rotating radar scanner keeps an electronic...
