Every morning deckhands check the barges for leaks. It takes Phil Popham. 23, about 30 minutes to inspect the 15 barges hooked up to the Cooperative Vanguard. He moves gingerly across each slippery deck, shovels snow from the manhole covers that conceal the eleven-foot-deep buoyancy compartments, and peers inside with his flashlight for telltale ice or water. He passes the rest of the day reading dog-eared copies of Playboy, Popular Mechanics and western novels by Louis L'Amour...
Founded in 1884 on the Kennebec River, a dozen miles from Popham, where in 1607 the first ship was built by European settlers in the New World, the Iron Works constructed steamers, tugs, trawlers, J.P. Morgan's famous yacht (the one no one could afford if he had to ask how much it cost) and destroyers for the Navy in both world wars.

The Daily Times editor, Martin Ochs, 34, is his grandnephew; Publisher Golden is the son-in-law of Times Publisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who in turn...
...Johnny Popham will run a paper that publishes more national and international news than any other in the South. But the Daily Times draws its loudest praises-and heartiest damns-for its outspoken, Southern-liberal editorials on the region's big story: racial integration. Over the years the Daily Times has taken the most forthright stand of any major Southern daily in favor of gradual, peaceful integration under the law of the land. Often scorned as "that nigger-lovin' sheet," the Daily Times has paid a price for speaking its mind: during the past eight years, circulation...
