Commenting on the letter from A. Moore, Baton Rouge, La. in TIME, Feb. 22, I would like to add a little more to the story of the naming of China's first "Flying Tigers"the American Volunteer Group. Although we had earlier adopted the tiger shark as the nose insignia for our null [see cut], the Chinese awarded the name of Flying Tigers to the A.V.G. . . .

Father Roland and son Wagner, Greek sponge fishermen off the Florida keys, discuss the dangers of their occupation and the terror the diver feels when approaching the reef. As Roland wistfully points out, a man can forget his fear when once dazzled by the beauty...
