Last week a band of oilmen said that they will build the biggest line of them all: a yard-wide pipe that, when it is completed late next year, will pump gasoline, kerosene, furnace oil and diesel fuel over 1,600 miles from Houston to New York's Staten Island and to 1,000 miles of spur lines in between.

The European worker is less productive than his U.S. counterpart because he generally has less training and fewer machines to work with. Producing a ton of finished steel takes 21⅔ man-hours in France...
