Time Capsule 1974

[ssmithhhh]

What a great idea for a thread!   

@ 2Stater:  There you go....that's my second favorite movie of all time.  Godfather (Part 1) being my favorite, of course.

In the year 1974,  Richard M. Nixon became the first and only president to resign while in office. 

(A little known fact was that a Crimson Phoenix was a semi-accomplice used by G. Gordon Liddy during the Watergate break in.)

Makes you wonder whatever became of he/she?  Hmmmm???

"Mama" Cass Elliot died in 1974. Rumor had it that she choked to death on a ham sammich.

[ssmithhhh]

I remember that about Cass.  But it was one of those urban legends going around.  Pretty sure it was a heart attack. 

'Course, it could have been brought on by the cost of the ham sammich in San Francisco!

Well if she bought the sammich in San Fran, but didn't eat it til she got to London, that would explain the choking.

#1 TV show in '74 was "All in the Family", much of it without Carroll O'Connor.

It was clearly a case of traveling through different time zones.  She was heading east, and attempted to swallow at 1:25 p.m. Unfortunately, she'd already crossed a time zone, so she was really still on her first chew at 12:25 p.m.

Really.   
Now, had she been going west, no problem.
