...Kennedy Center spectacular, Jimmy and Rosalynn stole the show, and from some pretty big names at that: John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Gregg and Cher Allman, Muhammad Ali, Paul Newman. At a State Department tea for Mexican First Lady Carmen de Lopez Portillo (a guest of Rosalynn, who had attended the López Portillo inauguration last December), Shirley MacLaine twitted an old friend. Said Shirley to Henry Kissinger as he jokingly tried to pencil her into his little black book: "I talked to you before you became powerful. That's when I dropped...
...called Prime Cut-just five fast years ago. Before that, her professional experience had amounted to some high school theatricals back home in Quitman, Texas (she failed to qualify for the senior play, however); posing for a perfume ad; and landing a one-line part on a John Lennon-Yoko Ono record album.

McCartney wrote about the undemanding pleasures of farm life and domestic bliss, going so far as to record a version of Mary Had a Little...
...been A Hard Day's Night for John Lennon in his four-year battle against deportation from the U.S. because of a drug conviction in Britain. Things took a turn for the better when Lennon got a temporary suspension of his case on humanitarian grounds: Wife Yoko Ono's pregnancy. Last week, on the eve of Lennon's 35th birthday, his ordeal finally ended; a court of appeals barred immigration officials from deporting the ex-Beatle. Said the jubilant Lennon: "It's a great birthday gift from America for me, Yoko and the baby." Two days...
