...economic development. Walter Mondale, among other politicians, criticized the hamburger chain's minimum-wage jobs as grim substitutes for well-paying blue-collar work. Nutritionists despaired over the high fat and sodium content of McDonald's fare, while food snobs ridiculed creations like Big Mac's "special sauce" as gooey and gross. Even investors, who had been smitten with McDonald's stock for two decades, were predicting that a glut of golden arches would soon put an end to the chain's glory days of growth...
...poverty level growing up in San Diego has been exaggerated -- Conner's father was a Convair engineer who dabbled in commercial fishing -- but by yachting standards Dennis qualified as a foundling. Filthy terms like "boat nigger" seem to come easily to these folks' gooey white lips, and Conner uses that phrase to describe his beginnings.

Thus the blurb makers, with more cause than usual, have dubbed him "America's Favorite Father." And just in time for Father's Day, | by no marketing coincidence, Cosby is out with a spanking-new best seller that rollicks through his mostly tried and mostly...
...paying attention to the details of motherhood. When a youngster spills maple syrup all over the breakfast table, Mom yells convincingly but makes no move toward the table. Is there a mother on earth who would not be there with a sponge in two seconds flat? Of course, the gooey mess must stay in place so 16-year-old David (Jason Bateman) can sit in it, so Mom will have to clean his pants later on, so she will find a note in the pocket written by his new 24-year-old girlfriend, so they can have a fight over...
