Fanciers of McDonald's hamburgers, who are used to giving their orders to teenagers, must have been puzzled by the bald heads and bulky bodies behind the Golden Arches last Friday. No wonder. At a store in San Diego, Founder Ray Kroc, 74, handed over French fries to waiting customers; in Baltimore, McDonald's president, Edward Schmitt, 51, picked up a spatula to flip burgers. It was "store day" at McDonald's, and from Portland to Pensacola, executives left their offices to don paper hats and hustle behind the counter...
...Teresa Barger as Hermia and Joanna Blum as Helena are very much the respectively sought-after and frustrated lovers, and vice-versa. Anne B. Clarke as Titania fairly wafts across the stage.

...attempt to repeat the success of Patton by island-hopping across the Pacific with the imperious five-star general. Gregory Peck, who plays the lead, studied old newsreels to catch MacArthur's flamboyance and even shaved the crown of his head to match the general's little bald spot...
...Vancouver Island Lansdowne writes, "I vividly recall the plummeting, erratic nighthawks of summer evenings, the flocks of plaintive waxwings and the great, flame-crested pileated woodpeckers that hammered at the roadside stumps." For Volume I the artist has selected 53 species to illustrate, including numerous sea birds and the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), the endangered national emblem of the U.S., which thrives in western Canada...
