Since those days, Janssen has reformed somewhat; he now concentrates on portraying Gothic horror instead of experiencing it. He lives in a crumbling Hamburg apartment house with his handsome blonde third wife, Verena, the wealthy granddaughter of one of Kaiser Wilhelm's last Chancellors, Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, and their five-year-old son. Others may find his pictures macabre, but he maintains: "For me, whatever I do is not ugly, not horrible, not repulsive. I couldn't draw what I don't love...
...prices on tubular products by averages of 2.5% to 3%. At the same time, the price of molybdenum, an alloy agent used in strengthening steel, was raised 3.7% by two leading producers.

Moreover, the profit margin on sales to the military, still a large chunk of the company's U.S. business, has felt...

Still using the antiquated Willys complex in Toledo, which looks more like a New England woolen mill than an auto plant, Kaiser has spent a modest $5,000,000 to tool up, is launching a quaint promotion campaign-"Holy Toledo, What a Car!"-that gets chuckles from Detroit's more sophisticated Big Three...
