It was anachronistic but a tasteless joke was if Cass Eliot and Karen 
Carpenter had shared the ham sandwich they both would be alive.

Eliot died in '74 and Carpenter in '83. They both were 32. Choking on a 
sandwich was dreamed up by Eliot's manager to defuse the idea she had 
OD's. 

They were a little too pop for my taste but didn't cause me to start 
punching buttons on teh car radio like The Association.
