...iron riches lay virtually untouched until 1950. when a Bethlehem Steel Corp. subsidiary began mining El Pao. The ore traveled by rail to the Orinoco, then by shallow-draft vessel to deep-water Puerto de Hierro (Iron Port). In early 1954, a U.S. Steel Corp. subsidiary, Orinoco Mining Co., sent its first load of Cerro Bolivar ore down the river. Orinoco Mining has spent $230 million on its Cerro Bolivar mine and the installations that go with it: a trim little company town near the base of the mountain; a river port (Puerto Ordaz); 90 miles of railroad...
Before the Illinois work was finished, the Federal Government asked Dr. Hamilton to do a similar job. This kept her roving through mine, mill and smelter for a dozen years.

Bob Young, who was not at the head of the table, suggested, "Well, there are lots of things you wouldn't particularly eat. I guess." The lady's dessert had gone...
...that time the bear's stomach was full and so was mine, of scrod. As we left, Viola Berlin thanked us and we thanked her, and wished her a fine, cloudy day for the movie's opening...
