<blockquote><font size="1" face="TImes, TimesNR, serif">quote:</font><hr> By Michael Gardner, Copley News Service
The bill was in response to Wal-Mart’s battle to open a grocery and supercenter next to the Hollywood Park racetrack, culminating in a bloody and expensive ballot fight. Two-thirds of the voters rejected Wal-Mart’s initiative April 6. <hr></blockquote><p>I may be wrong, but as far as I can recall, there was no bloodshed in this quarrel. There was certainly no mention of it - beyond this - anywhere in the story.

And a plague on copy relating with the words battle and war when inappropriate.
