      The notorious bed-ins of Beatle John Lennon and Yoko Ono have given rise to some bizarre news coverage, but, says Star writer Margaret Daly, when you look each of them in the eyes as they talk about it, it's impossible not to believe

      I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me.
