...themselves forever free. Their first reaction to this freedom was to push it to its furthest limits which they did in continuous experiment from "Strawberry Fields" to "I Am the Walrus."

The Beatles are back to being a standard rock band (drums, bass, guitar/piano) but the richness of their immediate background enables them to transform this seemingly limited form by magical proportions. The Beatles may be musical amateurs but they have more experience than anyone in the business...

The judges ruled that the Fourth Amendment protects a man's trash can as well as his home because the can is "an adjunct of the domestic economy."

In fact, much to the chagrin of the State Department, Justice lawyers appeared to be mechanically applying their strict interpretation of antitrust law to what they saw as just another merger-without appreciating that this merger was special enough to call for more delicate handling...
...Sinclair stations, will not require the British company to lay out a shilling now; the price is to be financed largely out of BP's eventual revenues from the sale of Alaskan crude. The combination would create a company able to compete aggressively against oil giants like Jersey Standard, Mobil and Texaco. As London's Financial Times commented last week: "The tragedy is that [U.S.] antitrust legislation was devised to encourage competition in the U.S. Yet the manner in which it is being implemented is having the effect of deterring European companies from entering...
