...bargain $110 per person, including hotels, meals and guides for a week, groups of 40 tourists will gambol through mechanized mine shafts, mephitic chemical plants and the computer-guided rollers of Krupp's behemoth steel mill in Essen. Lest romance wilt amid the furnaces, adventurers will be whisked away for interludes at centuries-old castles above the once-green valley. Club Med officials hardly need run scared. Still, some 5,000 tourists have signed up to see the Ruhr...
