Paragraph One:

Senator Blanche Lincoln, one of the chief architects of the financial-regulation overhaul... blah blah blah blah

Paragraph Two:

The bank, Arvest Bank Group Inc., of Bentonville, Ark., is predominately owned by... yadda yadda yadda yadda

Paragraph Three:

Under Ms. Lincoln’s proposed change, Arvest would be excused from a provision... whoop whoop whoop whoop

Paragraph Four:

White House officials have said they don’t want changes that benefit specific companies... yawnnnnnnnnnnnn

Paragraph Five:

Lawmakers routinely do things to benefit organizations in their home states... z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z

Paragraph Six:

Other Democrats in Congress...

“Other Democrats,” eh?  So, indirectly, in Paragraph five column 4, now we know!
