...collectors shuttle on regular tours, shepherded by docents, art-investment consultants and "educators" of every stamp, among the private collections of Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Malibu.

Today more than 150 of 554 U.S. naval vessels steam under nuclear power; American submarines can stay submerged for months and traverse the waters beneath the polar ice caps...
