Looking rather like a visitor to Dante's Inferno, Pope Paul VI last week stood before a blazing blast furnace and watched as sputtering molten iron ore was poured into ingots. The Pope was visiting the Italsider steel plant in the Southern Italian town of Taranto, where, true to a promise he had made last month, he celebrated Christmas Eve Mass for 7,000 steelworkers and their families. In his sermon, delivered from an altar made of rolled steel slabs, Paul deplored the "separation and lack of understanding" that divides the worlds of labor and religion. "It almost seems...
...Engine. The Penn Central Metroliners, built by Philadelphia's Budd Co., can travel up to 160 m.p.h., but will be held to something under 120 m.p.h. Reasons: much slower conventional trains will be ahead of them on the tracks and the roadbeds cannot handle such great speeds.

In replacing Blough, who will become a partner in the Manhattan law firm of White & Case, where he worked before joining U.S. Steel in 1942, Gott is naturally careful to give his predecessor proper credit. "We're only trying to complete what Blough started," he says. One of Gott's goals is to lift the company's share of the steel market back up to 30% within the next several years...
