Pepper and The White Album, are fodder for Rutle in chief Neil Innes, who for Archaeology composed such cheery pastiches as "You got lonely-phobia / And I only hope ya / Get better." Innes says George Harrison gave his blessing to the project. "He said, 'Why not? It's all part of the soup.'" Why not indeed? Rutles footage appears on the Anthology video...

Once again the myth of William Henry Harrison as "the embodiment of homey rural virtues, the candidate of the log cabin" has surfaced, this time in Jeff Greenfield's piece "I'm Just That Simple" [ESSAY, June 10]. Greenfield does not seem to know that Harrison, my great-great-great-great-granduncle, was a patrician, born into the landed aristocracy of the James River.
