“Well, Ethan, you can see that there is no hope for you here,” said Derek, indicating the clusters of people. “Let’s go down to Peter Brown’s office.”

By comparison, Peter Brown’s office was like a church. It was large, high-ceilinged, with subdued lighting, quiet, and empty, with a huge portrait of John and Paul dominating one wall.

Peter Brown had been with Brian Epstein, as his personal assistant, from the beginning. John Lennon would later to make him famous through the line “Peter Brown called to say you can make it okay / You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain,” from “The Ballad of John and Yoko.”)

Derek went back upstairs as I unpacked the projector and all my slides, and set things up so that the projected images would fill one entire wall. I clicked through the first few. They looked good to me, so I turned off the machine and waited.

Derek opened the door and stuck his head in. “Listen, Ethan, I think John’s in the building. Why don’t you wait a minute?” FROM AN AMERICAN STORY
