That's what the ex-Beatle, who is now 38 and last released an album in 1975, paid for a full-page ad billed as "A Love Letter from John and Yoko to People Who Ask Us What, When and Why." He and his wife take five paragraphs to bring a presumably breathless world up to date on how the Lennon family is faring in Manhattan. The couple have been conducting a "Spring Cleaning...
