...Paul sounds earnest and superficial, like a Tory spokesman, and Ringo is still the ideal, unflappable pub mate. Even the grating last years, when Paul would rag George about his guitar playing, or sneak in to redub Ringo's drum parts, are events to look back on in sorrow, not anger.

"We couldn't meet that every month," says Hamilton, president of a nonprofit community-development group, who shifted his money to his wife's credit union.
