NBC is scheduling two hour-long live shows, a private-eye staple called The Investigator and the converted Kraft (Mystery) Theater...
Construction showed a $400 million gain to $4.1 billion in May-and gave the Northwest's troublesome lumber industry real hope for better business. Though output is down 10% from last year, lumbermen talk encouragingly of a second-half push that might carry the industry 2% or 3% ahead...
