...short term, the ordinance will hurt the citizens who are most desperate for better choices of retail outlets. In Chicago, Wal-Mart said it would scale back its plans and focus on the inner-ring suburbs. That?s not exactly a plan for the future - it might instead be a game of economic chicken...
...covert officer who tracked Hizballah, says that by the late 1990s, the CIA was watching the group to see if it might resume violence against the U.S., but it never did.
