DENNY'S HIT WITH ANOTHER DISCRIMINATION SUIT

Twelve black customers who claim a white waitress at a Denny's in Oak Lawn, Ill., threw menus at them and served white customers while the group waited to order sued the restaurant chain. South Carolina-based Denny's Inc. paid $46 million to settle a class action discrimination suit six months ago. Flagstar Companies Inc., Denny's primary corporate parent, referred the latest complaint to an independent civil-rights monitoring commission set up as a part of the earlier settlement. (AP)
