And how could you give us the full story of her life with such utter frankness without degrading her, but making those who have made profit out of her, and all the rest of us, accord her the respect for which she now yearns as the lines of maturity begin to show around eyes and neck.

It took sales of $600 million, one-seventh of U.S. Steel's total, says Chairman Blough. to earn enough profit after taxes to pay for the furnace. To pay for expansion in the next five years, U.S. Steel will reinvest earnings of $220 million annually, the profit on about 56% of its sales, will use another $140 million from cash set aside for depreciation. But the other $140 million must...
