...Kimeses' history is their habit of being around people shortly before they mysteriously disappear. The Los Angeles police want to talk to the pair about the demise of David Kazdin, 63, a longtime acquaintance and business associate of Sante Kimes' who was found shot to death in a Dumpster near Los Angeles International airport in March.

At the 747 factory, whose 98 acres of floor and 114 ft. of height make it the world's largest building by volume, manager Bill Yoakum went sleepless near Seattle while the plant phased in software that consolidates mountains of manufacturing data. The people who need it include rows of shop-floor engineers, whom mechanics can summon for help by flicking on a light. (Yellow indicates a question, and red is "urgent.")
