What was John Lennon doing in Brigifte Bardot's hotel room? According to a new skin-deep biography of B.B. by British Writer Peter Evans, the former Beatle once more or less invited himself there.

...snobs," said John Lennon. "We don't mind mixing with straights." With his wife Yoko Ono, the ex-Beatle was on hand for a party given by ex-U.N. Ambassador Charles W. Yost and ex-Saturday Review Publisher Norman Cousins for soon-to-be ex-U.N. Secretary-General U Thant. Borrowing Folk Singer Pete Seeger's guitar, Lennon stepped up to the mike with Yoko to give out with a peace song he had written. Excerpt: "Imagine no countries/ nothing to kill or die for/ no religion too./ Imagine all the people/ living for peace...
