This view of the Beatles is the work of Gerald Scarfe, 31, the British artist-cartoonist-satirist whose grotesque caricatures in the British press (TIME, July 15, 1966) have been the nemesis of the high, mighty and famous, from Lyndon Johnson to Queen Elizabeth. For TIME, Scarfe went beyond his usual two-dimensional pen and chose special weapons: papier-mâché, paste, wire, sticks and watercolors...
...hone speculation to its finest edge, and not surprisingly. "Of all the peoples in history," observed Economist J. Edward Meeker in 1930, "the American people can least afford to condemn speculation.

It is all in line with Long Beach's proud boast of being the "Riviera...
...leader, is doomed on arrival at the Golden Gate Institute of Industry & Reform, a prison farm for adolescents. There, status is based on ability to humiliate weaker kids by sexual assault. A buddy warns Aaron: "They beat 'em up first, and then gang bang 'em, man! Make queens of 'em forever." Aaron is duly raped by a giant Negro senior citizen of this very bad boys' town. No queen, though, Aaron gets revenge by putting rat poison in the clam chowder. Unfortunately, he kills his best pal as well as his persecutor. But he no longer...
