...audience was sharply divided ... "there were Quakers who just wanted to sit back and listen to music, there were students who wanted to throw rocks, and we couldn't find a song that all of them liked. I was asked to play one last song, so I played John Lennon's song, 'Give Peace a Chance,' and everyone started singing together, moving to the music ... for that moment everyone was united, screaming, crying, 'All we are saying, is give peace a chance' ... it was incredible...
...Kennedy Center spectacular, Jimmy and Rosalynn stole the show, and from some pretty big names at that: John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Gregg and Cher Allman, Muhammad Ali, Paul Newman. At a State Department tea for Mexican First Lady Carmen de Lopez Portillo (a guest of Rosalynn, who had attended the López Portillo inauguration last December), Shirley MacLaine twitted an old friend.

Spacek (the name is Czechoslovakian, and is pronounced to rhyme with "basic") looks a little like a White...
...granny glasses gave it away, but otherwise there was hardly a hint that the man with the short haircut, dark suit, narrow tie and starched white shirt was not a bank clerk but John Lennon, 35, former Beatle, sometime writer, and culture hero without portfolio. He was wearing the straight threads for a solemn occasion, namely, the successful resolution of his 4½-year struggle to obtain permanent-resident status in the U.S. After such assorted character witnesses as Gloria Swanson, Geraldo Rivera and Isamu Noguchi testified to Lennon's public spirit and artistic significance, Immigration Judge Ira Fieldsteel...
