Get-away
Beatle fans fell for a very simple trick when the quartet left the Clarendon Hotel for the airport last evening. An excited crowd of nearly 2000 waited behind a roped-off area in front of the hotel and cheered with delight at the Beatles’ farewell appearance on the balcony. Police had a lane roped off from the hotel door around the corner to four waiting cars. The last car waited with its doors open and a driver at the wheel.
But before you could say “Yeah, yeah, yeah” another black car suddenly leapt out of the hotel’s back entrance half a block away from the crowd and whisked the Beatles away. The decoy car drove off in another direction.
