Forgotten Bash. Corsages wilted, par ty gowns wrinkled, coiffures uncoiffed. The silence in the galleries grew more and more ominous; the menfolk below had plainly forgotten all about Lyndon's bash.

For example, Kansas' Bob Dole introduced an amendment to give the First Lady rather than the Secretary of Commerce the power to enforce the beautification bill. It got nowhere.

What they saw was four young chaps having a jolly good bash. In the avalanche of publicity that followed, the Beatles emerged as refreshingly relaxed, if not downright lovable, personalities. Their disarming humor (Reporter: "Why do you wear so many rings on your fingers?" Ringo: "Because I can't get them all through my nose") melted adult resistance...
