...pool table and an air-hockey table, or the one near Chicago with a fireplace and leather armchairs. "McDonald's is a restaurant, not a 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...
...make their money pontificating about the immorality with which science threatens humanity. They sometimes treat scientists (who composed less than one-fifth of the committee) much like the Royal Society of London treated Leeuwenhoek when he began sending them his observations of microbes—that is, with a hint of bemused paternalism.

Rock 'n' roll may be their life--and their business. It may come naturally to them still, but it sure doesn't come easy. That's what's different...
...Foreign Ministry source in Moscow. To be sure, Russian support for the U.S. will come at a price. Major Russian oil companies like Lukoil have interests in Iraq but, with an eye to the long term, have chosen not to develop them until the political situation is settled. A hint from the U.S. that it would welcome Russian commercial involvement in a post-Saddam Iraq would go down well. The U.S. has told Moscow, says a senior Administration official, that it has a lot more chance of getting the debts it is owed by Baghdad paid back with an "Iraq...
