...recording session last summer that produced the latest Beatles record. Out this week, it is called Abbey Road, in honor of the group's favorite studios in London. The disk proves lucky indeed -for listeners who like being disarmed by the world's four most fortunate and famous music makers. Melodic, inventive, crammed with musical delights, Abbey Road is the best thing the Beatles have done since Sgt. Pepper (1967).

Famous prima donnas long to play at being beautiful and abandoned in it.

...Washington to carry on his kind of work, the effort is still uncertain enough that most of its life depends on Ralph Nader's personal force. The shift from one individual crusader to wider, institutionalized reform isn't easy, but Nader knows that there's only so much one famous crusader can do. And so his Washington institute-with the lumbering title "Center for the Study of Responsive Law"-and his summer student projects are part of his attempt to make the shift. So was his speech here...
