Lebanon, Ohio (AP) - A Breast-feeding mother who says she was not allowed to
nurse her 4-month-old son in the women's department of a Wal-Mart store has
filed a discrimination complaint.  Dana Derungs, 26, of Lebanon on Tuesday
asked the Ohio Civil Rights Commission to investigate whether the discount
store discriminated against her right to public accomodation because of her
gender.  :We're not looking for any money, but I would like a formal apology
from Wal-Mart and a change in their policies on breast-feeding moms, " she
said.

****anybody have a corporate address? phone number?
     McDonalds suffered an enormous backlash for just this same issue last
fall.
