...spiritual finality of Lennon's musical utterance makes it clear that McCartney's suit to dissolve the Beatles, though it could drag on legally for years, is nothing more than a formality. Still, McCartney has a fiscal fight on his hands. The main reason is that John, Ringo and George Harrison and Apple Manager Allen Klein realize that to break up the partnership they would have to liquidate all their assets (estimated at $100 million) and run the risk of a breathtaking British capital-gains tax.

...long duet, long enough to allow the drummers to go through many changes, but it doesn't drag; it's not an interlude in a song, but an important part of it, a part that has no notes, only beats.

The Administration has said that if the Paris negotiations continue to drag on without a settlement, it will simply keep on with Vietnamization. Many of the prisoners' wives are well aware that with the American troops out of South Viet Nam, there would be little bargaining leverage left to secure the release of American P.O.W.s still held by the Viet Cong or by the North Vietnamese. "It's a problem," admits one top Administration official. "We have...
