Berlin rebels fight to keep McDonald's out

Guardian Unlimited: Berlin's rebellious Kreuzberg district is fighting to remain one of the last McDonald's-free zones in Europe, having rediscovered its radical spirit in the run-up to next week's G8 summit.
In what has been coined the "burgher versus burger" battle, protesters in Germany want to stop the fast-food chain from opening a "drive-thru" eatery that is due to start business in August. It would be the chain's 60th branch in Berlin.
