Faith & Works. Born 68 years ago in the Ruhr Valley, Albers prepared slowly and thoroughly for his distinguished career.

Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, 46, great-grandson of Founder Friedrich Krupp, himself gave his workers the good news. Despite Allied restrictions, Krupp grossed $238 million last year...
This year, more than a century later, Catlin's triumph was again underlined by a touring exhibition of his work in Europe. Sponsored by the U.S. Information Agency and (and supplied by the Smithsonian Institution), it arrived in the French town of Valenciennes after being in Essen, Munich and Hamburg.
