...last week there it all was, 60 works in Chicago's Art Institute, in a fantasia of wattles, dewlaps and varicose veins, the lifetime work of Chicago's painter laureate. It is an exhibition for strong stomachs. Limbs were blotched and misshapen, rolls of flesh sagged swollen and pocked. In the background of the paintings were tumbles of battered objects, microscopically detailed, and all in ripe decay.

Some U.S. shipyards, including Maine's venerable Bath Iron Works, accept orders at a loss just to keep busy. One result: stocks of U.S. shipbuilders have dropped 40% since...
