...night, I am always afraid," one veteran diver confesses. The audience shares his fear and fascination, and occasionally even his lethargy becomes swimmingly real. It is hypnotic and hilarious to watch a school of scallops, threatened by a starfish, go snapping across the ocean bottom like a herd of stampeding dentures. The film has its faults: it grows repetitious and tries to provide variety with music full of scubadoo cuteness. Thus, by the time the saucer plunges down for a climactic survey of the queer fish and mating crabs found at the 1,000-ft. level, most viewers will...

...President headed upstairs, followed by the herd of reporters, who were admitted to the President's private, second-floor living quarters for drinks, caviar and cheese canapes. Exploring the place, one brunette newswoman peered around a half-open door, quickly retreated. "The President is in his underwear!" she cried. While changing clothes in his bedroom, Lyndon watched a special three-screen TV unit that allowed him to see all the major networks at once. "I feel very relaxed," he told a reporter invited in for a chat, "and even relieved...
