...will merge and surface near the Fleet Center, crossing the Charles River in an elegant 14-lane, cable-stayed bridge. The bridge will be the widest in the world and, in addition, the first asymmetrical bridge ever built.

Earle has enlarged our purview to include the Monterey Bay area 12 miles farther northwest, so that we are able to look at Elkhorn Slough off Moss Landing and Monterey Canyon. This underwater chasm, as huge as the Grand Canyon, reaches out 45 nautical miles to the foot of the continental slope, and down...
