...Bond movie. It is a lemon-hued, one-man submarine, the S 250, a 12-ft.-long, 2,250-lb. vessel that can be run by just about anybody, dive safely to 250 ft., stay submerged for an hour at a time and costs (at $12,000 without extras) less than a Cadillac Seville. The man to see about lessons in the S 250 is Harold Jacobson, a balding but still visibly ginger-haired professional diver based in Warwick. He got the sub, and the Aquatic too, from Designer-Builder George Kittredge, a retired Navy sub commander who produces...
...breath is already fogging the bubble dome. Jacobson has been through the safety instructions: "To come to the surface turn the green knob by your right side to let compressed air drive the water out of your variable ballast tank." The bay is less than 20 ft. deep here. S 250 is insured by Lloyd's of London and her seaworthiness has been approved by the U.S. Bureau of Standards.

Voters give Kennedy high marks for being experienced, knowing how to get things done, being a strong and effective leader and inspiring confidence-the very qualities on which Carter is ranked the lowest. On these questions of competence, Carter gets the top grades from less than 10% of those surveyed. The President, on the other hand, is considered to be strongly religious, morally upright, honest and a good family man-the areas where Kennedy ranks the lowest. About half of those polled, including 63% of the Democrats and 59% of those under 35, went...
...Panther movie in an empty theater). What you do afterwards is your own business, but you'll probably feel good and giggly and "mellow," which ain't too bad a way to spend a humid night in August, as summer inches persistently into September, and we find ourselves less and less capable of experiencing Inspector Clouseau in such an idyllic atmosphere...
