Sometimes that's a hedge against the Golden Arches becoming the first stop, as it invariably is, for any anti-American mob assembled to protest some aspect of U.S. foreign policy. It's fine for the Golden Arches to be identified with all things American in markets where all things American are celebrated. Elsewhere, however, different tactics may be required...

Early this week, the F.A. will announce whether Terry can represent England while legal proceedings against him are under way. The F.A. is also expected, along with the Professional Footballers' Association, to review whether the maximum two-week fine in a standard contract should be raised.
