ANSCHUTZ "WELCOMES COMPETITION" FOR AN L.A. FOOTBALL STADIUM

          Anschutz Corp. President & COO Cannon Harvey said that
     NHL Kings Owner Philip Anschutz "remains committed" to
     bringing pro football to the L.A. Coliseum "and welcomes
     competition from any other possible site, including the area
     around Dodger Stadium owned by Peter O'Malley," according to
     Jim Newton of the L.A. TIMES.  Harvey, in a letter to State
     Sen. Richard Polanco: "We do not believe Peter O'Malley or
     anyone else should be asked to hold off on making a
     proposal, and we would urge Mr. O'Malley and others to make
     their proposals as soon as possible."  Newton wrote that the
     letter "represents a subtle but important shift in emphasis
     by the project's backers" (L.A. TIMES, 10/31).  But T.J.
     Simers wrote, "The Los Angeles pursuit for football ... is
     in chaos, and getting worse by the week because of political
     intrigue.  The lack of leadership remains acute, beginning
     with the mayor" (L.A. TIMES, 11/1).
