...Dolls. This is not surprising: it's a solid performance piece with a clever story, jazzy songs and nothing too controversial or risque, unless your town is likely to be offended by dice games and chaste kisses.

So the same assets that had made the restaurants so great started to turn against the company, especially after Kroc died in 1984. People looked at uniformity as boring, insipid and controlling, the Golden Arches as a symbol of junk-food pollution. Franchisees began to feel increasingly alienated from top management, especially in its aggressive expansion policies...
