...idea of an American chain restaurant trying to position itself as the official sandwich of an anti-U.S. trade crusade may seem somewhat treasonable, but the logic of globalization suggests that within a generation, corporations and products may lose their "national" identity. Nobody in Europe thinks of Fords as American cars, quite simply because they've been made in local plants, according to designs tailored for European markets, for more than half a century. And if all goes according to plan, 10 or 20 years from now an anti-American mob may charge right by a McDonald's without...

Drugstore reading glasses, which contain two lenses of identical magnification...
...crude a subject for one of the acknowledged pillars of modern American literature-nor is it for one of the, admittedly less-acknowledged, bastions of American "white trash garage rock" Southern Culture on the Skids. Faulkner learned to drink in Mississippi, and Southern Culture "learned to dance" (albeit somewhat woozily) in the same place, as one of the songs of their newly released album, Liquored Up and Laquered Down, proudly proclaims. The same region of the United States that gave birth to Jim Beam and Jack Daniels produced Rick Miller, North Carolina native and founder of the band, who warned...
