Quick Picks: Immigration Raids and Peanut Tirades

Quick Picks focuses on a select few of the day's stories from "Breaking on the Web."

  • The Chicago Tribune interviewed four former workers at the peanut processing plant responsible for the recent salmonella outbreak and got some gruesome accounts: One said he "saw them put new stickers on buckets of peanut paste that were out-of-date. There were roaches, rats and everything out there."
