Scarfe started by sketching Ringo at the drummer's London suburban home, raced back to his Thames-side studio to construct a likeness on a wire frame with papier-mâché made of old newspapers soaked in paste. He followed the same process for all four. The figures are life-sized head-and-torso, with paper-and-glue eyeballs inserted from the rear of the framework, hair made of scissor-fringed strips of the London Daily Mail, and a final facial of thin paste and watercolor. Each unclad figure took two days to build...
Tucked beneath the bluffs along the Mississippi on its Illinois shore, East St. Louis (pop. 80,000) is a squalid reach of crumbling brick buildings, battered frame shacks and sleazy taverns, redeemed only by a view of St. Louis' soaring Gateway Arch across the river. Poverty workers estimate that an appalling 65% of East St. Louis' housing is substandard; a full 21% of the work force is unemployed; nearly a third of the city's families-55%-60% of them Negroes-are on some form of relief.

In prosaic terms, this is coming back to an apartment where the breakfast dishes are still unwashed, the morning paper exactly where it was dropped, where nothing has moved. Mayo Mohs, a freelance journalist still single at 33, puts the unmarried's problem in a frame of reference that is more romantic and more telling: "The lack a single person feels most acutely is when he leaves his group to go off somewhere on a trip, one of those trips that his single status lets him enjoy. It can occur in front of a castle...
...because he "never fought anybody worthwhile." After Army service, he opened a record shop and went broke, but continued writing and recording songs at his own expense. In 1959, Way Over There sold 60,000 copies. Encouraged, Gordy borrowed $700 from his family and launched Motown in a seedy frame house on Detroit's Grand Boulevard, where his offices and studios now sprawl through eight buildings...
