POPSMiracle Baby: Born Not Once, But Twice!
“This operation is similar to a Caesarean section,” said Alvarez, who is chairman of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey. “Half of the baby is extracted " only the part that needs to be operated on. And then she is put back into the womb," he said. "The womb is then closed and carefully monitored for signs of premature labor and other complications.” And fortunately there were no other complications. The baby grew for another 10 weeks inside her mother. "We definitely had hope, but at the same time there are those times things don't go your way and God has other plans," McCartney told CBS News.

POPSThe NY Times Can’t Get Anything Right
It Was 40 Years Ago Today By Richard S. Chang On Aug. 8, 1969, less than one month after Neil Armstrong made one giant leap for mankind, the Beatles took a few steps outside the recording studio where they were working on their penultimate album and turned a quiet road into one of the most famous streets in London. The group spent 15 minutes to shoot the album cover "- an image that has been reproduced countless times since. From the BBC: The idea for the cover of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album was initially to call it Everest, after the favorite brand of cigarettes smoked by their engineer Geoff Emerik. Then the thought of doing a Himalayan cover helped kill the idea, and instead they considered doing shoot closer to home. “There’s a sketch Paul McCartney did with four little stick men crossing the Zebra,” says Brian Southall, author of the history of Abbey Road Studios. In the album photo, the Beatles appear to be walking across a quiet London street.

As soon as she finished her performance, the couple left to catch a plane for France " drawing several previously unidentified secret service agents out of surrounding seats. Her early departure meant that she missed the grand finale, when all the artists danced rapturously together as Stevie Wonder sang Happy Birthday to Mr Mandela. Stewart, who has been writing unpublished songs to Bruni’s French lyrics in recent years . . .
