One major publisher after another turned them down cold, and after the 33rd rejection, their agent quit. Face it, they were told: "Parables don't sell." And that title! "Too nicey-nice." But the plucky authors soldiered on. Finally...
...took instant root here. First, in January, came the spine-tingling arrival of I Want to Hold Your Hand--a great, convulsive rock-'n'-roll record that, to the bafflement of many a teen garage band across the land, actually had more than three chords (five more, to be exact--incredible). Then one week later, She Loves You careened onto the charts--wooo!
