- Share via
Among the strongest images of the year in Los Angeles County were those of furious smokers temporarily banned from Beverly Hills restaurants and a would-be gunman holding what turned out to be a toy gun on consumer reporter David Horowitz during a live broadcast.

MINI-MALL--In Monterey Park, voters in October approved four zoning measures intended to discourage piecemeal development and mini-malls, encourage new large-scale projects and revitalize existing commercial centers. The City Council raised standards for multifamily projects.
Compiling these laws were Times staff writers Greg Braxton, Gary Gorman, Scott Harris, Roxanna Kopetman, Julio Moran, Victor Merina, Mike Ward, and researcher Cecilia Rasmussen.
