...Cannes, skindivers soar around beds of jeweled coral-reds, violets, purples, yellows-in pursuit of sea bass and mullet. In Australia they prowl the caverns of the1,250-mile Great Barrier Reef, or play tag with the gregarious seals that frolic off Carnac Island. Near London, divers happily muddle through the ooze of a dank lake in Black Park...
...Conn., the U.S. last week took a giant step toward a new era of warfare and a revolutionary concept in the Navy's defense role.

Expecting the worst, Police Commissioner Stephen P. Kennedy kept 2,000 day-shift cops on overtime duty, sent prowl cars with loudspeakers through the streets to warn people to stay at home. But Kennedy need not have bothered: during the 13 hours before all the lights came back on, the crime rate plunged to almost nothing.
