...BILLY JOE, an extrapolation on Bobbie Gentry's 1967 back-country ballad about the young boy who jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge, is a nice surprise.

For McDonald's accomplishment has been compared to that of the man who invented the paper clip. They took the lowly beef patty and made an ideology out of it. How did dining under the heavenly golden arches become a transcendental experience, capturing national enthusiasm with a fervor surpassed only by the space program and World War II? How did just another greasy burger joint become...
