...prince or pugilist, the underwater world stirs strange rapture. Writers of ages past, from the author of the Book of Jonah to Matthew Arnold, few of whom had ever been under water in their lives, have been inspired to imaginative fantasies about life in the depths. One modern writer who has been there is Clare Boothe Luce, playwright turned diplomat. In a memorably lyrical series for SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, she reported her experiences: "What fishes like flowers, what stones like trees. The coral reefs are a golden girdle of dead and living cities, which dwarf in their age and beauty...

The lobby argues that the consumer, although paying for the quota system, has benefited from it through price stability. Over the past ten years sugar prices have risen less than the general rise in consumer food prices. The U.S. retail price of 11.5? per Ib. is about 5? per Ib. below the median price in 121 other nations around the world. Says a top Agriculture Department expert: "We have managed our protection...
