Flowing Westward. Not since U.S. Steel decided in 1905 to put a plant on the hunk of Lake Michigan sand that is now Gary, Ind., has a private project had such opportunity to change an entire area. The mill will start off employing 2,500 people in a plant for finishing rolled steel shipped from the East. Jones & Laughlin hopes that the plant will eventually be completely integrated from blast furnaces on up, expects it to generate satellite manufacturing industries to use its steel. Says Jones & Laughlin Chairman Charles M. Beeghly: "We are talking about the largest single development...
...Twelve miles east of Southampton is East Hampton. In both Hamptons the ocean influences everything. Its pounding surf has created an unbroken beach of pure, soft, white sand. Moisture from the ocean causes a heavy dew at night so that golf courses rarely need water on their fairways. In general, the Hamptons are as rigidly socially conscious as Newport, and when snobbery has reared its gelid head it has sometimes been intensified by the rivalry between the two communities. For years, Southampton claimed a social edge. It had tighter restrictions on who could buy property in the community...

Ditches and water hazards bisected twelve of the 18 holes-to say nothing of 74 sand traps, 6-in.-deep Bermuda rough, and the big, slick greens. Complained one golfer: "It's like putting down a marble staircase and trying to stop the ball on the fourth step...
...over page), also goes all out for adornment. "I want my buildings to be exuberant," says the 42-year-old architect, who also is an abstract painter. His industrial structure too is a box, 200 ft. by 200 ft. square. But with its elaborate zigzag carapace of sand-pink precast concrete blocks, Lundy's building proclaims the architect's belief in sculptural architecture. "The building is sassy, square and solid," says Lundy. "It says...
