CBS Evening News held 26 percent audience in week one, rose to 24 percent by week eight, with rivals NBC and ABC at 22 and 23 respectively. In Burbank, a Beatles reunion track marks three members contributing to All Those Years Ago as a Lennon tribute.

Detroit Faces Second bankruptcy crisis in 50 years
The Chicago Tribune profile on Detroit traces a city once nicknamed Murder City recovering partly through the Renaissance Center then teetering toward bankruptcy. It notes 13 percent unemployment, 60 percent of residents on government aid, stalled tax bases, rising expenses, and the mayor proposing tax hikes and pay cuts to stave off a 1933-like crash.
