...actively hostile to the notion of American leadership if it requires risking American lives. In the case of Bosnia, that is exactly what American leadership has led to. Clinton has said he will send 20,000 troops to enforce a peace agreement, and Americans are deeply concerned about this prospect.

McCartney also talks about the strippers they dated in the Hamburg bars. But all are mum on sexual escapades after those early years. If any groupie got to stay overnight during one of the tours, her secret is safe with the remaining Beatles...
