Some call it coincidence...

The Associated Press item ("Former McDonald’s CEO Charlie Bell Dies,” January 16, 2005) began: “Charlie Bell, who began his McDonald’s Corp. career as a part-time worker in a suburban Sydney restaurant and later became chief executive of the fast-food icon, died early Monday of colon cancer in his native Australia. He was 44.”



AP went on to explain: “Bell was replaced as CEO by Jim Skinner, the American-based company’s third CEO in a year. Bell was chosen to follow former chief James Cantalupo, who died of a heart attack in April 2004.”

As Springsteen once sang: “Man, the poets down here don’t write nothing at all/They just stand back and let it all be.”
