...Problem. One problem that the operating oilmen refuse to worry about is who owns the oil under the high seas, far from U.S. shores. The Federal Government claims everything beyond the state limits (three miles for Louisiana, ioj for Texas), and Mexico, presumably will claim the oil-rich undersea lands on its side of the Gulf. But there is no authority for such an interpretation of international law, which has always con sidered that the high seas belong to all nations in common. As far as precedent goes, there is nothing to prevent the Brit ish, for instance, from building...
Citation: "Deviser of the nuclear reactor that led to the first undersea vessel powered by nuclear energy, you have enabled men for the first time to go down into the sea in ships wholly independent of the atmosphere...
Syrupy Wine. Such sites are safe from most archeologists, who are generally more learned than athletic, but Philippe Diolé, director of Undersea Archeological Research for the French National Museums, is not merely learned.

Diolé investigates. He finds a chunk of Carrara marble...
...Seawolf, which will take ten months to finish, will be powered by an improved atomic reactor of higher speed than that used on the Nautilus. Both boats, Secretary Anderson explained, will be faster and more powerful than any undersea vessels ever built.

...trees but are fast losing sight of the forest itself? Of course it is the height of giddy conceit to think that a seagull can be made the bull to a school of whales. The appointment of a naval aviator, Rear Admiral Frank Akers, as ACNO for undersea warfare [TIME, Aug. 24], seems to be forcing just such an arrangement. In their effort to keep apace with the Air Force in projecting themselves into the pushbutton future, the Navy has apparently relegated to the second team its most effective weapon in the Pacific melee-the submarine. Perhaps some boning...
