Last year Wal-Mart began offering more organic products--those grown without pesticides, antibiotics, irradiation and so on--and the big company's expansion into a once alternative food culture has been a source of deep concern, and predictable backlash, among early organic...

Two companies were bidding for Distillers, Guinness and a supermarket chain called the Argyll Group. Both bidders had offered Distillers' shareholders a mix of stock and cash.
