After years of patient probing, oceanographers still have only the sketchiest notions about the shape of the drowned, undersea landscape that makes up 70% of the earth's crust. They know even less about undersea "weather"-the currents, eddies and swift temperature changes that sweep across the ocean bottom like winds and storms on land. Not until Columbia University's Hudson Laboratories announced the first direct measurements of deep waves, could oceanographers be sure that the great, lazy surges actually exist...
High Hopes. Fascinated by the submarine waves, which must surely be important to marine life as well as to man's undersea warfare, Columbia's researchers are now pursuing them with more observant buoys that report temperature and pressure as well as movement. "It will be interesting to see what sort of underwater breakers form when internal waves 100 ft. high hit the continental shelf 50 miles away from our Eastern coast," says Dr. Pochapsky. He has high hopes that such studies will mark a significant advance in the infant science of submarine meteorology, which may some...

...rest, the present is abreast of the presumed future. There is an undersea hotel (Jacques Cousteau has already developed a five-man sea house),an aquacopter (just a baby submarine) and a space dormitory for moon travelers (it closely resembles the Indonesian pavilion half a mile away...
Inflammations. The people in Silence move through an almost undersea life where they have little communication with one another, less with the surrounding world, and none with God. A woman, her young son, and her unmarried sister travel through a country invented by Bergman, where people speak an incomprehensible rococo-syllabic language, also invented by Bergman. The story line is wavy and apparently aimless. The unmarried woman has a marked erotic interest in her sister. The sister's heterosexuality is fired rather than suppressed by this. It is inflamed further when she goes to a variety show...
