************************************************** ******

You previously worked at Mars. What’s your favorite candy bar?
Compton: Well, Mars is both confectionery and pet food. I worked in the pet food.

I assume you don’t have a favorite brand of pet food.
Compton: No. Snickers is my favorite.
Maybe he meant the PLANET MARS ????

"Otis Sistrunk (1972-79) was the man from the University of Mars"

Man, that was a cheap shot against my man Otis and the Oakland Raiders of old.

From 2/2/2001 LA Times Article by Shav Glick:
Compton, as is the case with many in his administration, does not come from a drag-racing background. He joined the NHRA in 1993 as vice president and chief financial officer after working at Kal Kan Foods and Heron Communications Inc., both in the L.A. area.
