Abstract
- CORRECTION APPENDED GALVESTON, Tex. -- The crayons and paper were out, but not too many children made it to family day at the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum. Granted, the exhibits of pipelines and seismic vessels may have been over the heads of many grade-schoolers. And despite a few cheerful displays about marine life around rigs and all the bounty that oil helps provide -- including Barbie dolls and cellphones -- the message of the museum is that offshore drilling is complicated and potentially risky, a big business overseen by grave-looking men whose mostly unsmiling faces line the Hall of Fame.
