...Lennon's remark that "we're more popular than Jesus," which set off an anti-Beatle furor last year, was not a boast but an expression of disgust. Though he phrased it ineptly, he was posing the question: What kind of world is it that makes more fuss over a pop cult than over religion...
...discourage fuss, the Beatles lead their private lives within a maze of high hedges and walls, security guards and secret telephone numbers. Even John Lennon's art-nouveau Rolls-Royce, painted with a rainbow of swirling floral patterns on a bright yellow background, has smoked one-way glass in the side and rear windows to keep the curious from peeking in.

But then, Schoendienst never does make a fuss. And his permissive approach to managing is the perfect prescription for the Cards-especially for such key men as Cepeda and Maris, both of whom came to the team tagged as sulkers and malingerers. No longer. Explains Maris: "I like it here. The pressure...
