Though I suppose it might be trumped by "WMDs found in Iraq -- and Iran". 1. ______ At last, it seems that McDonald’s is losing its hitherto stellar domination of the vast fast-food market in this country. This is not a regional or temporary blip, or a mere tactical realignment. They really are in trouble. Their poor performance in Britain dragged profit margins from McDonald’s European company-owned restaurants down to 14.9% of sales last year -- from 15.6% in 2004.
