Beatles film: Love, pain and music, plus life lessons for all

In Part 3 of “The Beatles: Get Back,” as the band huddles on the floor of the studio control room with the people closest to them, Paul McCartney starts (yet again) to fret: The Beatles are getting stale making one album after another; his (and their) singing is not up to his standards; they haven’t even rehearsed some of their songs; he wants fun and a changed environment – a payoff, someone suggests.

Delivering food during hard times is about community

Dear Annie: I am a baby boomer and appreciate the 20th-century tradition of “rising to the occasion” and taking in meals if a family member is ill or if there has been a death in the family.

The member’s husband recently died, and our president has again requested that we take food to the house. And we are stepping up to the plate and doing so.
