...group was formed 41 years ago by Tenor Joe Silvia and his brunette wife Jamie. Tired of road trips with bus-traveling bands, they settled in Chicago, took on a bass and a baritone as partners and began singing nothing but dog-chow arias and cantatas of smoke. "We wanted a normal life," says Joe, "children and a home. We wanted to try to live like other people do, and that is what we've done." They make a nice, normal $250,000 a year.

From southern Kyushu to northern Honshu, the classic brush-painting coastline of Japan has been transformed into dynamic montages of modern wealth. Fire and smoke belch forth from towering blast furnaces that gobble up a steady stream of coal, iron ore and limestone from huge supertankers. The Japanese take second place to no one as owners of the most modern steelmaking equipment, have 14 ore-to-ingot plants operating at nearly 95% of capacity and another four being built. Japan ranks second to the U.S. in up-to-date strip-mill capacity and produces 38% of its steel...
