...Beatles Anthology, a coffee table-size volume of text and photos, is the big one. The saga of the group is told primarily in the alternating voices of McCartney, Lennon, Harrison and Starr. Their magical mystery tour is related in straight-ahead chronological order: Lennon growing up on Penny Lane (yes, that's really where he lived for a time); John and Paul meeting as teens and later hooking up with Harrison and then Starr; the early days of the band in Hamburg, Germany; and the making of each one of their albums. There are some interesting tidbits and stories...

Whatever the definition, a 1997 Roper poll found 8- to 12-year-olds were signing on to vegetarianism at twice the rate of adults. Helping set the tone are books--two in just the past year for teen veggies--and stories about celebrity vegetarians such as Chelsea Clinton, Paul McCartney and Alicia Silverstone. (TV-cartoon heroine Lisa Simpson is an especially vocal veggie.) With mainstream groceries carrying products like Boca Burgers, soy milk and tofu, and fast-food restaurants like Wendy's offering veggie pitas, meat-eating parents are having an easier time accommodating their kids and, in some cases...
