BURGER CHIEF DIES

James McLamore, Burger King Corporation's co-founder, died yesterday of lung cancer. Mr McLamore, aged 70, founded the world's second-largest fast-food chain in 1954, with Dave Edgarton, and served as president or chairman for more than 21 years. "He was not just the co-founder of the company, he was the heart of it," said Robert Lowes, Burger King chief executive. "He took a hamburger, the Whopper, and made it a household name."
