...DIED. JOHNNIE JOHNSON, 80, boogie-woogie early rock-'n'-roll pianist who gave Chuck Berry his first break in his then-popular trio, and later as Berry's bandmate and co-writer, shaped the rock legend's inventive sound; in St. Louis. Johnson, for whom Berry wrote Johnny B. Goode, played on such tunes as Maybelline, Rock and Roll Music, and Roll over Beethoven. He later backed Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, and in 2001 was introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

Long, a geochemist at Michigan State University, is one of a team of scientists who spent eight days last month exploring Lake Superior in the submersible Johnson-Sea-Link II. Their voyage was the first leg of a four-week, $550,000 expedition sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that will continue until Aug. 20. Until now researchers have seldom viewed Superior at depths below 200 ft., generally the limit to which scuba divers descend. But using the Sea-Link, they have been able to plunge right to the bottom. The deepest point...
...scientists and two crew members from the parent research vessel Seward Johnson took turns making the twice-daily three-hour dives in the Sea-Link. 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...

He knew, for example, that Walter Johnson had a lethal fastball but that he never threw at the batter. So Cobb crowded the plate and worked the fireballer for walks and opposite-field hits. Cobb often drooped listlessly at the plate, then ran the bases furiously, colliding with infielders and leaving their blood in the dust. All along, he bench-jockeyed with the worst of them...
