...Jackie Bouvier, the locale changed after the divorce, but the routine was much the same: Holton-Arms, a blue-chip girls' school in Washington, replaced Chapin, and the gilded summers in East Hampton gave way to the 75-acre waterfront Auchincloss estate in Newport, R.I. If anything, life was more mutedly elegant than before: Merrywood, the Auchincloss chateau in suburban Virginia, is rich with taste and culture: soft-spoken butlers pad across the wine-colored carpets; mellow, morocco-bound classics line the walls; and television is relegated to a tiny recess on one side of the vast fireplace.

Instead of developing the Irvine ranch simply as a suburb of sprawling Los Angeles, Pereira has planned an independent, self-supporting city. The first community in the urban area (see map) will border Newport Beach, have a $150 million shopping center with garden apartments, single homes and acres of green lawns.
