...YOKO ONO donated $100,000 to Victim Services, a New York City organization that assists victims of domestic violence. Ono does not normally publicize her acts of charity, but these alms came armed with a statement. "I am making this donation in sisterhood with and in memory of Linda McCartney," she said, adding that she hoped the donation would bring attention to the charity's work. Her reason for the gift is startling, given that Ono was not invited to the memorial service Paul McCartney held for Linda in New York City last month. Paul and Yoko were never close...

...over. McCartney began making records with his wife in a new band. Harrison followed his Indo-mystical inclinations as far as he could until fans lost interest. Ringo made occasional records, movies and television commercials. And Lennon moved to New York City, where he had always wanted to be, and ironically became that most English of figures, the reclusive eccentric. He was shot down in 1980, and the Beatles were nevermore. Except for their music, which is eternal...
