...SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE (ABC, 9-11:30 p.m.). Hollywood's version of The Story of Ruth (which varies a bit from the King James Version) is not bad by Bible-film standards. Peggy Wood goest whither, and Elana Eden goes with...
...bleak self-knowledge that he is "irredeemably mediocre." He is pushing 40, a tooth-shy, flea-bitten leopard, all spots and no strength, restlessly, frantically, pacing the cage of his life-in-death.

MSL Industries of Chicago, which produces both tube fasteners and plastic injection-molded cabinets (with which it hopes to fight wood's new inroads), is spending $8,000,000 to double its capacity, will hire 300 new workers. Corning Glass, the supplier of 90% of all the basic glass "bulbs" for color tubes, recently opened a third plant in Indiana to satisfy its customers' appeals for more tubes. Such...
