Such aplomb befits the girl who has become the game's most attractive fashion plate since Gussie Moran flashed her lace-trimmed panties at Wimbledon more than two decades ago. Teeny lob-bers everywhere are mirroring the "Chrissie look": gold loop earrings, modishly cut tennis frocks, long hair parted in the middle and tied back with colored yarn, and-look Ma!-a two-handed backhand. The Chris Evert line of Puritan Tennis outfits, frilly, form-fitting tennis togs splashed with pastels, makes the squarish whites of old look like straitjackets. Now, with the figure to complement the filigree...
...parks along Lake Michigan's shoreline and a system of neighborhood forest preserves. A plan in 1958 touched off a coordinated $5 billion building boom in the central business core. That led, in 1966, to another downtown plan-and more high hopes and work. Result: Chicago's Loop is among the healthiest downtowns in the U.S. At a time when corporations are fleeing other cities for the suburbs, big Chicago firms...
...Town. Chicago 21 starts by taking advantage of the huge but little-used railway yards around the downtown Loop area. This prime land is available for new projects with an absolute minimum of demolition, relocation of people or land-assembly problems.

There, the Illinois Center Corp. is building $1.5 billion worth of offices, apartments and parking garages and hotels. Important as an extension of the business district, the project also upgrades the city with good architecture (buildings by Mies...
...most dramatic part of Chicago 21-really the key element in its challenge to the suburbs-goes even farther. It is an immense "new town intown" designed for 120,000 residents. Located on 600 acres of abandoned railyards between the Loop and the Chicago River, the town will be complete with shops, recreational facilities and, most important, good schools. The planners see another potential asset in the river, which, with a cleanup, can be made as attractive as the lakefront...
...South Loop new town itself promises to be handsome and efficient. It will rise in phases, each consisting of a "superblock" of up to 16 acres and containing as many as 3,000 dwelling units. The buildings may be terrace apartments, set in a step-back arrangement so that the roof of one apartment forms the terrace of the one above. To get residents to work or to shops, a subway line will run under the town, with another transit system (moving sidewalks or gondola cars) connecting the second floor of all the buildings...
