As a result, the 15 network-owned stations netted $108 million last year before taxes -41.2% of gross earnings. The other 593 stations included in the FCC report turned a pretax profit of $306 million-29.6% of gross...

When at last the great blue veiling fell away (see opposite page), the crowd, estimated at upwards of 25,000, greeted it with an awed and respectful hush. Against the stark Miesian geometry of the Civic Center stood a majestic monument, its massive metal features-relieved by lacy rods-matching the building...
