...opulent valentine: sections on "The Stars" ("More than there are in heaven" boasted MGM), "The Buildup," "The Movies," "The Studios" and "Behind the Scenes"; pictures of every player from Charlie Chaplin to Dustin Hoffman; stories of scandals, sex and scenarios.

The whole thing is being put together by a 27-year-old full-time Beatle-maniac named Joe Pope, who spends the year editing a magazine called Strawberry Fields, roaming all over the country searching for Beatle memorabilia, and revving up for the annual convention. A few years ago, Pope had the idea of giving a party for a few of his friends who were heavily into the Beatles, but the thing has grown to such proportions that 3000 people came last year and Pope says he expects...
