Sometimes you have to look for the silver lining.
When financially troubled fast-food magnate Carl N. Karcher left his office Oct. 1 after being ousted as chairman, he was tailed by a television news crew, which remained in the chase even after Karcher’s car pulled away from the company’s Anaheim headquarters.
Karcher, who was heading for Los Angeles, eventually decided to grant an interview--but on familiar turf. The 76-year-old businessman ordered his driver to pull into a nearby Carl’s Jr. restaurant.
“Might as well get some publicity out of this,” Karcher said later.
