"Back in the USSR. Yeah! Back in the USSR," he sings, waving an invisible guitar over his head. "Yabadabadaba!" shouts someone as a Magical Mystery Tour Guide throws a box of blurry photos over the balcony. Suddenly, there's a minor re-enactment of mobbing the Beatles; this time it's only pictures. Hands clutch at the paper, as though they were home runs hit into...

When Lennon made contact with the Special Branch, he was told: "Don't worry, the proper strings will be pulled." With the help of Lennon's evidence, which he said was doctored by the police to make a stronger government case, O'Brien was sentenced to three years hi prison. Lennon was acquitted-and he was publicly praised by the prosecutor for being "frank and honest" with the police. If the I.R.A. was not already onto Lennon, those...
