It's 1968 and you're comfortably seated aboard a Rolls-Royce powered Alitalia DC-8-40, sipping a tasty Chianti while the last of the passengers trickle onboard tonight's flight from New York to Lisbon and onwards to Rome. Man! That is some darned good Chianti! Mi scusi, Signore - What's that? Ah, your stewardess has arrived with the menu for tonight's flight. It's a big one, too - about 15" X 12" with a beautiful watercolor gracing the cover. Hmm... Dang! That's IS good Chianti! Well then, let's see what's for dinner!
