Wow!  six degrees or what?
I might also mention the Fatima ad prominent in the night time view of Times 
Square(?) in the Prohibition era in Burns' Jazz documentary....  I might also 
add that I can remember my father smoking Fatima cigarets when I was a wee 
bairn.  I remember being continuously fascinated by the veiled face on the 
package.  (First stirrings of eroticism?  Ummmm -- could be)
