In this Aug. 13, 1965 photo The Beatles, with John Lennon, George Harrison,Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, from left to right stand at the airport in London, England before leaving for a coast-to-coast tour of the U.S. An upcoming concert by Paul McCartney in Israel, scheduled for Sept. 25, 2008 has revived memories of the 1960s, when an Israeli official called off a Beatles concert for fear it would corrupt the nation's youth. The episode is often fondly quoted as a relic of a long-lost Israel where the public's innocence needed protecting. Trouble is, the story might not be true: With Israelis in a tizzy about McCartney's arrival, the official's son is taking the opportunity to try to clear his father's name. (AP Photo)
