All negative films, color or Black and White can handle more linear 
information than can be printed on paper with a 7 stop density range, so how 
do you make it fit?

It's all about Contrast Index of the film vs. Scene Luminance Range. Just 
remember you lose tonal separation, and effective speed when you pull 
development.
