...dealer, Ambroise Vollard, in 1933. Another, and the largest version, was purchased three years later by the Philadelphia Museum of Art for $110,000. By comparison, the British buy (on which Cézanne worked from 1897 to 1906) seems sketchy, leading some critics to call it crude, while other experts see it as perched on the threshold of cubism...
...tunnels, but most of its journey will have to be made, like Hannibal's, across the frozen peaks and deep valleys of the Alps. Scheduled to begin operating in 1967, the $150 million, 300-mile Trans-Alpine Line will eventually carry more than 40 million tons of crude oil annually. It will be the biggest to date in an expanding network of pipeline that is pouring oil from the wells of the Sahara and the Middle East into the world's fastest-growing petroleum market...
Under Land & Sea. Another new pipeline, a 546-mile Central Europe network that will carry 12 million tons of crude oil across the Alps from Genoa to Switzerland and Germany, is near completion. It climbs to a maximum height of 6,480 ft., snakes through seven mountain tunnels, makes 85 river crossings on its own bridges and has special equipment to reduce the tremendous oil pressures that would otherwise build up on its steep declines. In Germany, construction will begin this year on a large petroleum products pipeline between Cologne and Frankfurt, and a German consortium will soon start building...
...companies as partners in the Trans-Alpine Line-ending forever its dream of monopolizing the Alpine pipelines to squeeze other big oil companies out of Central Europe.

The tanker's long coastal voyage earned it a special distinction: it was the first Australian ship ever to carry Australian oil. Its journey also marked the high point in a one-man crusade to save Australia's $118 million coal industry from an onslaught by foreign oil companies, which have been saturating the market with vast quantities of low-cost, waste-product fuel oil from their Australian refineries...
