Piccard and his five companions spoke of massive undersea waves caused by the swirling of the Gulf Stream's powerful current around uncharted "hills" on the ocean floor. Their...
...Hello," the reporter would say sternly, "this is Lieutenant Murphy from the Detective Bureau. We have a report of a shooting at this address. Is it true?. . . Is he dead? . . . Four times in the head, huh? . . . Who shot him? . . . You did? . . . Now get hold of yourself, dear. Why did you do it? . . . Messin' with another woman, huh? . . . Did you catch 'em in bed or something? . . . Were they naked? . . . What did your boy friend do for a livin'? . . .A laborer, huh? O.K., the squad car will be right there. Goodbye...
