RONALD MCDONALD DEFEATS KARL MARX

Moscow (Feb. 7) - Recent events leave no room for doubt: McDonald's
restaurants cause democracy. One week of fast, courteous service has
acheived political pluralism where 70 years of U.S. foreign policy
could not. To review recent events:

JAN 31: The first McDonald's in the Soviet Union opens in Moscow.
Twenty-seven lines and a seating capacity of almost 700 ensure that
mass indoctrination will be hasty.

FEB 4: Hundreds of thousands demonstrate for a more open political system
in the largest protest since the Russian Revolution. Heard chanted by the
crowds late into the evening: "McFreedom! McFreedom!"

FEB 7: The Communist Party of the Soviet Union overwhelmingly votes to 
abolish its legal monopoly on power.
