...technique called container shipping. A seagoing adaptation of piggyback rail freight, container shipping involves packing cargo into steel, aluminum or wood containers of more or less standard size (8 ft. high, 8 ft. wide and 10, 20, 30 or 40 ft. long) at the factory, no matter how far inland. The containers are then moved by truck or train to a port city and loaded aboard a ship built especially to accommodate them or so adapted.

It seems most unfair to relate higher living costs to steel prices when the average steel price has remained steady for several years." Block thereupon announced that Inland too was raising its price on structural steel by $5 a ton; little Colorado Fuel & Iron followed by posting a $3-per-ton increase on structurals...
Starting in late May, 100,000 U.S. servicemen were funneled into Viet Nam in 120 days. Warships from Task Force 77, the assault unit of the Seventh Fleet, launched round-the-clock bombing raids, trained their six-inch guns on Viet Cong concentrations as far as 15 miles inland...
