Taking off on Klaus's theme, it is amazing how inaccurate the NYT article is. How about this snip:

Food 4 Less had a loss of $33.8 million

(Snip)

In its SEC filing, Food 4 Less didn't break out results for the fourth quarter, when 44 company-owned stores were damaged or destroyed by rioting in Los Angeles County.

Ronald Burkle was attending a business meeting April 29 at a Los Angeles hotel when word came that a Simi Valley jury had acquitted four Los Angeles police officers in the beating of Rodney King.

The meeting adjourned for a few moments so participants could check the television news. Burkle -- like the rest of the world _ found himself watching in disbelief as the resulting anger turned into mayhem, then to all-out rioting.

"It was very depressing to watch our stores being destroyed, and it was very easy to get upset," he recalled a few weeks after the riots.
