They had first set foot in the U.S. only two days before. But their records--and their publicity--had preceded them: the Beatles, Britain's Fab Four, the sensation of Europe. Their single I Want to Hold Your Hand had just hit No. 1. That afternoon in Manhattan, hordes of fans--mostly adolescent, mostly female--surged in the street outside CBS's Studio 50, where the lads were rehearsing for their debut on the closest thing that era had to a national entertainment forum: Ed Sullivan's Sunday-night TV variety show.

THEY CAME TOGETHER Time has reduced the Fab Four to a dynamic duo, but the BEATLES still have a healthy output. A DVD to be released next month will include an hour of never-before-seen footage from a 1994 jam session with Paul, Ringo and George. Paul, the Beatle formerly known as the Cute One, has just announced his first tour in Britain in 10 years, and police in Australia have found two reels of Beatles tape stolen from the Abbey Road studios 35 years ago.

...ebullient blonde-haired beauty Rachel E. Dry, the deceptively innocent grin of gay-court-file-pilfering Amit R. Paley. But each week, while beers are slammed in the newsroom, a loyal cadre of FM drones works quietly in the basement, oiling the well-run machine that is our fab rag. FM stopped being drunk for five minutes to salute these FM heroes. God knows, FM would be lost—both metaphorically and literally—without them...
