CORRECTION
YOKO ONO is ready to come together again with some of John Lennon’s most prized possessions.
Nearly 100 items belonging to the late Beatle were recovered in Berlin this week — more than a decade after they were stolen from the rocker’s widow in New York in 2006.
Among Lennon’s belongings are two pairs of his signature circleframe glasses, a recording of a 1965 Beatles concert, a 1952 school book from his Liverpool youth, a cigarette case, handwritten scores of some of his songs and three leatherbound diaries.
The diaries include Lennon’s final entry, written just hours before he was killed Dec. 8, 1980, by Mark David Chapman.
German police were tipped off to the items’ existence in July by a bankruptcy administrator for a Berlin auction house, who found them in the company’s storage.
Police arrested a 58-year-old businessman Monday and raided his home and car, where they found a briefcase containing more items hidden under a spare tire in the car’s trunk. A STORY IN Tuesday’s Daily News incorrectly reported that singer and actress Della Reese was survived by her husband and four children. She is survived by her husband and three children, James, Franklin and Dominique. She was predeceased by her daughter, Deloreese. The News regrets the error. FIRST-GRADERS in a Pennsylvania school district are terrorizing teachers — forcing as many as 45 educators to resign over four months.
Unruly students as young as 6 are exhibiting extreme behaviors — attacking teachers and flipping over desks in several schools, according to PennLive.com.
“I have been kicked, punched, hit, scratched. I’ve had a student physically restraining me in front of my other students,” firstgrade teacher Amanda Sheaffer said at a Harrisburg school board meeting Monday.
