...hamburger stand, and we need to treat it as such," says Chicago-area franchisee David Bear. Who knows, some operators may even take a hint from France, of all places, where the company has helped entice more customers with a wide range of unorthodox decors, including a mountain-chalet-style store with wooden beams lining the ceiling and natural-grain wooden tables on the floor. France is one of the few bright spots in McDonald's flagging European business, and maybe that's a sign of hope. If a burger chain demonized by activists as the symbol of American imperialism...
...part, Yoder imagines living out his years in a little chalet on a Vermont mountain. "I could write about psychiatry and send people cranky e-mails," he says with a grin.

Given the resort's isolation?it can get creepy at night?and reasonable prices elsewhere in Burma, $100 a night is somewhat steep. But once there, when compared with the heat and hard sell of Pagan, the cool breezes, beautiful views and tranquil...

Im a trifle worried that the mansion wont be ready yet, because the rest of the help are still tending to our cottage, our penthouse, our villa, our chateau and our chalet, Harriman said. Only our manservant Geoffrey has arrived. I am still awaiting my chauffer and my cook, as well as my gardener, butler, governess, wet nurse and masseuse. Apologies, but I dont remember their names. I get their attention with this bell. He then escorted Gossip Guy from the drawing room...
