...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. Leeuwenhoek was an unschooled man who spoke only Dutch and felt patronized by the great learned men of London...

Just look at these guys. Giants. Golems. Geezers with a quarter-century of history together, a "long shadow," as Keith Richards says, "that we drag around"... The Stones still have the stamina, but there's always at least a hint of a strain in the music too, a self-consciousness about the energy, as if they were the oldest guys at the gym and trying to look good on the Nautilus.

...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.
