...Baltimore, an interdenominational Christian prayer center in Missouri and several other congregations--all of which will entrust it further to some Higher Force. Only when the requests have gone out will Dr. Mitchell Krucoff insert a catheter, and eventually several buttressing stents (small mesh devices to prop open the vessel), into Stephens' coronary artery...
...they are helped, to the extent a broken vessel can be helped. Later Del Castilho will send "Chaplain Michael" a note thanking him; Horace will agree, "Yessir, to me he seemed young, but I guess we all got to start somewhere."

When Tommy Thompson, by the early 1980s a marine engineer at the elite Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio, became interested in undersea mining and salvage, technology for very deep recovery had not progressed much beyond the diving bell.
