...three days last year, the Soviets fought to save the nuclear submarine that had been crippled by an explosion and fire. In the end, the struggle was lost; the crew was evacuated, and the 426-ft. Yankee I-class sub plunged 18,000 ft. to the bottom of the Atlantic some 600 miles east of Bermuda, taking with it as many as 16 SS-N-6 ballistic missiles, each tipped with two 500-kiloton nuclear warheads. But if the vessel is gone, it has not been forgotten. Since the sinking last Oct. 6, Soviet ships have watched over the site...
Experts say France, Britain, Japan and perhaps the Soviet Union could also reach the sub. "Down to 20,000 ft., nothing's sacred anymore," says Frank Busby, an expert in deep-sea operations. "You can't put these ((vessels)) down there and call them a memorial anymore because we can reach anything." But reaching the site may be the easy part.

Its inaugural show, American Women Artists 1830-1930, consisted mainly of loans; but even so, except for some paintings by Cecilia Beaux, Romaine Brooks and, of course, O'Keeffe, it was a dull florilegium of derivative kitsch. Who would waste ten minutes on these sub-Sargent portraits, these mincing imitations of Childe Hassam, these genre scenes crawling with dimpled rosy brats, if they had not been painted by American women? And what serious artist wants gender to be the primary classification of her art? Lee Krasner did not want to be in a ghetto with "women...
