While Harrison was able to survive the pressures of being a Beatle and an assault by a maniac, he couldn't beat cancer. But he made the passage to death easier for himself by believing so passionately for so long in a life after this one. Said his old friend Mia Farrow last week: "One of the things that was so inspiring was his lifelong search to know his God. And if God exists, I don't doubt that George has a place near him.

...questionable character at Whitney’s bar. Not surprising, then, Frances’ four-year love affair with FM, the weekly collision of high and low culture, sophistication and vulgarity, mètier and booya.
