Since it started at $563.5 billion in January, the present rate of increase would push G.N.P. close to $600 billion by year's end.

It takes Douglas firs 80 years to mature, and some still waiting to be cut were young when Paul Revere made his midnight ride. Timber's unique "lead time" is a constant concern of the 63-year-old Weyerhaeuser Co., which turns out more lumber and wood products than any other company in the $6 billion industry that provides raw material for U.S. homes, newsprint, boats, containers and furniture...
