...Pohang on the southeast coast, where 10,000 employees are producing steel or building plants for what will be the world's largest integrated steelworks. Farther south at Ulsan, the rocky coastline is broken by the giant hulls of 230,000-ton supertankers taking shape at ultramodern yards. South Korea's G.N.P., $17.2 billion, is about the same as Greece's, and per capita G.N.P. for its 33.5 million citizens is $513, v. $129 after the Korean...
...wasn't used to this stuff--I grew up a couple of miles from Shea Stadium, named for a hotshot New York lawyer, ultramodern, no bleachers.

Dak., a town of 800, boasts four ultramodern motels, three new gas stations, a bevy of postcard stands, a famous drugstore that does more than $1,000,000 worth of business annually and the highest per capita ownership of backyard swimming pools in the state?all because it happens to be handy to the interstate highway that vacationers travel to the Badlands, the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore.

...light at the end of a tunnel. Profits of the troubled conglomerate in 1972, he confidently predicted, would increase substantially over their lackluster showing of $50 million in 1971, and one reason for the gain would be Litton's $ 130 million shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss. Ash calls the ultramodern facility, opened about two years ago, "a national asset that will make U.S. shipbuilding competitive in world markets...
