Titanic Proportions

By Kit Bonner

A hit movie and a recovered hull section have perpetuated a feeding frenzy of which we are all a part.

We explored the sinking of the Titanic in 13 major motion pictures, hundreds of books, and thousands of articles. Many of her passengers are now household names.

Purists say that some are exploiting a tragedy. All of us are, to some degree.
