...Remodeling more than half its 13,099 U.S. restaurants, which could cost the company as much as $800 million over the next two years, is only part of CEO Jack Greenberg's latest plan to get bloated old Ronald McDonald back in shape. Greenberg is trying to lead a renewed commitment to fast and friendly service, to roll out a national "dollar value menu" and a fresh $20 million national ad campaign. To lay the foundation for future growth, Greenberg is experimenting with all kinds of new restaurant formats: an expanded McDonald's with a sit-down diner serving meat...
...While acknowledging the company's poor performance, Greenberg, an affable former accountant who has been CEO since 1998, told Wall Street analysts in a conference call last week, "We have a brand everybody would trade for." That brand, however, is not as powerful as it was, and Greenberg, who some critics say needs to go, may not have much time left to return it to its former glory.

...baseball’s greatest hitters and pitchers were absent from the diamond. According to The New York Times, 5,400 of the 5,800 ballplayers at the end of 1941 were in the military by January of 1945. Detroit Tigers slugger and American League Most Valuable Player Hank Greenberg entered the army on May 7, 1941, the day after he hit two home runs against the Yankees and seven months before Pearl Harbor. The season of 1941 was a magical one; Ted Williams hit .406 and Joe DiMaggio hit safely in 56 straight games. By 1943 both were...
