A.M. News: The Summer of Love was Really in LA
- So many horror movies, so little time. Or is it that the 42 horror films this year are not as killer as the past has shown.
- Whole Foods anticipated buyout of Wild Oats is not going come and go without a fight. While the two largest organic supermarkets talk, the USDA is considering relaxing some organic food standards.
- Grocery Strike Watch: "We've been negotiating for six months," said Rick Icaza, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 770. "That's long enough."
- “It’s a six-day job interview.” How would you like to be a summer guide on the Kern River?
