...sphere with walls of high-strength steel 1.33 in. thick to protect the crew from water pressure down to 6,000 ft. Its four viewing ports permit the pilot and observer to see ahead and below, and its three steerable, battery-powered propellers, two of which can swivel to point up or down, give high maneuverability and a top speed of about 7 m.p.h. Before Alvin tries deep and perilous submergence, it will begin practice runs this month in the pleasant shallows near Cape...

Sensible Fiend. Her snow-white hair is cotton candy. Her bulbous eyes swivel in a deep pouch. The nose is impertinent, and her great fierce jaw is pillowed in an accordion of jowls. She has been called a "splendidly padded windmill." When someone looks like that, it is less an occupation than a duty to appear in movies. She has just finished three new pictures, The Mouse on the Moon, The VIPs and Murder at the Gallop. In the latter, she is Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, crisply telling the police, "I shall have your murderer...
