...Clarke believes that photophores actually protect their bearers by confusing the enemy. The fish cruising below are rather nearsighted, so they do not see the little searchlights as points of brightness.

Trieste on Call. The Navy is reasonably sure by now that Thresher lies close by, under a small area of ocean marked by bright orange buoys. Hopefully, the Trieste will soon photograph the actual wreck. The depth will be moderate for the Trieste, which has already cruised to the bottom of the Marianas Trench off Guam, 35,800 ft. down, but the strong currents off Cape Cod are a serious threat.

As for the cover portrait, Artist Robert Vickrey looked at just about every available Lincoln photograph and painting, and found none entirely suitable. He created his own from his impression of them all, and from the Lincoln in his own mind's eye. We had asked only that his Lincoln be a serious one, and an older rather than a younger Lincoln. Artist Vickrey reports that...
