Already, the 15 vessels of Task Force 65, the largest and most sophisticated search group in naval history, had gathered in the area. While 120 Navy divers made a shoulder-to-shoulder search along five miles of coastal water, ships equipped with ultra-sensitive sonar crisscrossed the 120-sq.-mi. search zone. But Rear Admiral William S. Guest, 50, commander of the task force, ordered three weird-looking submersibles, especially designed for deep-sea research, to pay special attention to the spot around the buoy...

Foreign currency reserves were wiped out long ago, and the nation's foreign debt now totals a staggering $1 billion, most of it in short-term loans...
...year into Puerto Rico's economy and is the fourth-ranking industry. Yet the luxury hotels on San Juan's beach front, towering not far from the fetid slum of La Perla, symbolize the island's problems. With 2,600,000 inhabitants (686 persons per sq. mi.), Puerto Rico is one of the world's most densely populated countries. Merely to keep up with the increase in population will require a giant jump in job openings-some 200,000 more in ten years-and Governor Sanchez has made employment the core of his 85-point program...
