...produced by the entire TVA system. Its miners already dig 90% of Brazil's iron ore, 95% of its bauxite, beryllium and mica, all of its graphite and nickel, most of its diamonds and gold. Its furnaces and factories lead the country in pig iron, steel and ferrous alloys, rank second in aluminum, cement and lime. And on its rolling farm lands, 16.5 million cattle and 8,500,000 hogs fatten for market. All this, though it is just beginning to wake up to the 20th century...
Steve McQueen, of course. He may not be quite as big, rough and ferrous as the cast-iron Duke, but he has proved himself worthy. He has displayed reckless fortitude by following Yul Brynner into battle in The Magnificent Seven.

...with his eye on the future as well as the present, Blough has vigorously pushed U.S. Steel's expenditures for research, built the world's largest ferrous-metallurgy laboratory at Monroeville, Pa. With the rest of industry, U.S. Steel's scientists are studying the behavior of ores to make the most effective use of raw materials, working on special steels needed in rocketry and nuclear weapons, and turning out such new consumer products as aluminum-coated steel sheets for the automobile industry, vinyl-covered sheets in many colors for TV cabinets, wall panels, doors...
...small, compact car (TIME, June 23), will finally get it on the road late next year. Main feature: an aluminum engine, which will save 150 Ibs., in turn reduce overall engine weight 30% by means of lighter mountings, braces, etc. Up to now every aluminum engine required either a ferrous liner or a chromium coating for cylinder bores; both were expensive to make and troublesome to process. G.M. believes it has solved the problem by finding a wear-resistant aluminum alloy that can be cast in the same fashion as iron...
