The First Lady Laura Bush, who headed the U.S. delegation, was in a skybox near British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife, Cherie, who objected to having news photographers take her picture. ?Yoko Ono and Peter Gabriel also appeared, and paid tribute to her husband John Lennon?s "Imagine." Twenty-eight white-clothed acrobats climbed polls on a massive structure and briefly formed an astonishing dove of peace.

Anything was raw material: a cornflakes jingle (Good Morning, Good Morning), a snippet of Shakespeare on the radio (I Am the Walrus), the stoned ramblings of Peter Fonda (She Said She Said...
...separated. His father sat him down and made him choose which parent he would live with. At first he chose his father, but after his mother left, the desperate little boy went running up the street after her.
