...provides a steadier flow of taconite to steel furnaces, eliminating the need for the old, pre-winter stockpiling of ore in Gary and other mill towns. An established, year-round flow would mean that U.S. Steel could permanently cut back on the size of its 26-ship Great Lakes fleet...

This musical is a black-comedy opera with helpings of ha'penny Brecht. Its underlying theme, and épater le bourgeois tone, is that man exists only to eat or be eaten by his fellows...
