...changed? Not Stevenson. He was still disclaiming any real desire for the nomination, and many thought that his hopes were now centered on becoming Secretary of State. But the situation had changed. After Wisconsin, the stormy issue of religion threatened to shake the Democratic boat (TIME, April 18), sink the two presidential aspirants whom Stevenson supporters might find acceptable-Massachusetts' Kennedy and Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey-and buoy up those whom they like least, Texas' Lyndon Johnson and Missouri's Stuart Symington.

Equipped with Aqua-Lungs, divers are gradually taking over much of the work of the traditional helmeted diver. They hunt for jade off California, sink oil derricks off Louisiana, scrounge for sponge and pearl in the Mediterranean, raise cannon, coins and crucifixes from Spanish galleons sunk off Florida, and hoist history from ancient submerged towns such as Epidauros, which disappeared in a tidal wave off Yugoslavia in A.D. 365.
