WEIRD: Dogs that kill
Continued from Page 9.
— Last year, TelAviv University and the Warner-Lambert Co. sponsored the First International Workshop on Bad Breath. Shlomo Goren, former chief rabbi of Israel, told the conference that Jewish law makes bad breath a legitimate ground for divorce. (One study by the Kyushu Dental College in Japan used human smiffers to categorize the smells in the mouths of 2,600 subjects)

The Vancouver Sun reported in July that the local school board was aware of more than a dozen cases of Asian parents who immigrated to Canada with their children and then moved back home when they could not find work. They left behind the kids, mostly 15- and 16-year-olds, so that they could attend school for as many as two years. Canadian law calls it "abandonment" only when the child is under 10.
of chaining a mentally ill person to a tree near the graveyard of Saint Haji Sher so that the saint will rescue his soul. Typical waiting time is nine days, but some stay longer, and one man has been chained to a tree for six years.

THE ULTRA-WEIRD COMMUNITY
— From November until late February, Brenda Butler Bryant billed 335 lawsuits in federal court in Philadelphia, accounting for one-fifth of all new cases; each one, Judge Jay Waldman said, was frivolous and unintelligible. He quoted from a suit against the Social Security Administration: "Big Mac? Slave Master Now? No slave ain't master now. Ride them cowboy, Terrorist, radicals and militants in authoritative roles to provoke violent crimes Cecil B. Moore." Several recent filings have included, as co-plaintiffs, the Pep Boys, whom Bryant describes as her sons.
INEXPLICABLE
— At a disciplinary conference in February, just before he was fired as a deputy sheriff in Kalida, Ohio, for conduct unbecoming an officer, Ronald E. Young Jr., denied that he had forced a woman to sex while on duty. According to the Lima News, he told Sherif Ronald Diemer that what really happened was that while he was sitting with his wife eating french fries at Rascal's Pub at 12:30 a.m., the woman sat down next to him and began masturbating him under the table, and that he eventually achieved climax, apparently unknown to his wife.
UNDIGNIFIED DEATH
In Commerce City, Colo., in July, a 39-year-old man riding a motorcycle on U.S. 85 was killed when a 40-pound dog fell off an overhead railroad bridge on top of him, causing him to lose control of the cycle and collide with a truck.
BEATLES: Film depicts early years
Continued from Page 9.
pher was Astrid Kirchherr, who had been the lover of the band's original bassist, the late Stuart Sutchiffe, and who gave the Beatles their famous haircuts.
Softley met with Kirchherr and uses her relationship with Sutcliffe as a centerpiece of the film. Sheryl Lee stars as Kirchherr and Stephen Dorff plays Sutcliffe, John Lennon's best friend, who died in 1962 of a brain tumor. Also in the film are Ian Hart as Lennon, Gary Bakewell as Paul McCartney and Chris O'Neill as George Harrison.
"Backbeat" begins in 1960, when the Beatles were part of the emerging Liverpool "Merseybeat" scene. There were five band members at the time: John, Paul, George, Stuart and drummer Pete Best.
1950s, on stage the Beatles stuck to cover material, everything from "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" to "Ain't She Sweet."
They were working-class kids with varying musical abilities. Paul was so gifted and versatile he could learn any instrument quickly. The shy, inexperienced Sutcliffe hid behind sunglasses and turned his back to the crowd.
While John and Paul had been writing songs together since the late
Their live act was loud, crude and chaotic, not unlike the audiences for whom they played. Fights broke out and bottles flew. One gig in Liverpool, angry youths attacked Sutcliffe, aick in the head leading to the tumor that eventually killed him.
During the height of Beatlemania, a typical show lasted 20-30 minutes. In the dance hall years, their concerts lasted all night.
Speed was how they kept up, with nightly tubelufs of "Prellys" bringing the already simmering Lennon to a boil. He would show up on stage wearing nothing but a toilet seat, screaming "Sieg Heil!" He would shoot tear gas at rival bands, and each Sunday taunt nearby churchgoers, once attaching a water-filled condom to an effigy of Jesus.
"Here were some ordinary guys with some extraordinary talent and appetite." Softley said.
"If we kind of forget that they were
the beatles, and treat them like kids,
doing what kids do all the time
they're angry, they're hungry, they've got an appetite for life — you kind of imagine them as a punk band."
John was the leader, but it was Paul who knew what was best for the band. He kept urging John to dump Stu and let Paul move over to bass.
Sutcliffe spared him the decision. When the Beatles played in Germany in 1960, he met Kirchherr, fell in love and lost interest in music. In the spring of 1961 he quit the band to pursue a career in art. Suffering from increasingly severe headaches, Sutcliffe collapsed and died in April 1961.
The remaining Beatles didn't have time to grieve. A local poll had named their Liverpool's most popular band and they were busy shuttling between shows in England and Germany.
Best was dropped in favor of Ringo Starr. By the end of the year, the Beatles had a recording contract with Parlophone, a hit single in "Love Me Do" and a manager, Brian Epstein, who persuaded them to start wearing jackets and ties.
