The piece riffs on Madison Avenue branding and public perception during the space mission era.

Grim Reaper quotes from 1917 Wisconsin death records
A Wisconsin Leader reprint cites funny misstatements on death certificates. Doctors described causes such as infant death, never fatally sick, sudden death, and unrelated notes like a broken ankle-sparked blood poison after an automobile collision. The quips depict malapropisms in early 20th century death reporting.
