Knight Goodwin J. Knight ascends to California governor Monday after years as lieutenant governor and acting governor. He studied the job, shuffled positions, and waited for the moment, expecting a pay rise to 25 000 dollars and wide powers.

The trip, the deepest man has gone, reveals a silent abyss with faint phosphorescence and the sense of a grave. The elder Piccard, famed for a 1932 high altitude ascent, completes another landmark in exploration.
