Lunch was at a nearby sandwich house. Horowitz looked at the menu and said, "It looks like we're supposed to order The Special." The Special, a steak on bread with beer, would take a few minutes more than the sandwich his prospective partner ordered, so while the pinhole manufacturer nibbled at his food as slowly as possible, he and Horowitz made mannish talk about beers. Both gushed over the legendary Coors, bemoaning its scarcity east of the Rockies. Horowitz talked about the virtues of American draught, mentioning a few brands.

...most nearly perfect way of moving from one place to another." In many nations, notably France, Italy, Germany and Japan, there are commodious sleepers, cooked-aboard meals, and the kindly service that has been supplanted in the U.S. by the do-it-yourselfism of Howard Johnson motels and Amtrak sandwich bars.

And the raisins, removed last year from the dining rooms to the dismay of Harvard and Radcliffe undergraduates will just as certainly not be returning...
Died. "Mama" Cass Elliot, 33, gargantuan, silvery-voiced pop-rock singer; after choking on a ham sandwich; in London. Born Ellen Naomi Cohen in Baltimore, Mama Cass sang with a few unmemorable Greenwich Village folk groups in the early 1960s before contributing her gutsy contralto to the Mamas and the Papas, the quartet that created such euphonious superhits as Monday, Monday and California Dreamin'. When the group broke up in 1968, the Earth Motherly (5 ft. 5 in., as much as 250 Ibs.) Elliot embarked on a successful solo career. More than 300 people, including such luminaries as Carol...
