...Conquering the Sea" shows how man will one day exploit the ocean for min erals, chemicals and enough food to feed a world population five times the size of today's. Among anticipated underwater developments: porpoises trained to act as liaisons between ships and divers, fish farming and coal mining. Repeat...
...must be the only coal wharf in the world with a Grace Hartigan painting hanging inside the bunker house-along with canvases by Mark Rothko and Jack Youngerman and a Calder mobile.

Because the third or fourth generation Kruppianer might be turned out of work, Krupp refused to close down money-losing locomotive works and coal and steel operations.
