Durant, a former prosecutor, was rated a hard-liner when appointed in 1975, but rarely has lived up to the billing. His controversial decisions include a 1978 ruling that under a technicality in a state law, pistols were not firearms, and thus carrying a concealed pistol was not an offense.

Once it is raised, the clever foreigners phone in a false distress call, deluding the good-hearted American destroyer guarding the resurrected liner into leaving. Then, a Russian envoy boards with the news that the Russian "research vessel" is actually a warship (will they stop at nothing?) and adds that the Titanic will be torpedoed "in exactly eight minutes." The Americans, surely, are up an ocean. But no--resourcefully, they have ordered...
