Despite her strict upbringing and Christian faith, Mia Farrow also studied transcendental meditation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968. Unbelievably, she was there at the same time as all four of the Beatles, Mike Love of the Beach Boys, the singer Donovan, and Farrow’s own sister Prudence (for whom the Beatles song “Dear Prudence” was written). Talk about a super group, right? ---

Dallas Love Field was originally an Army Air Service training base, commissioned in 1917. The base was named for Army Lieutenant Moss Lee Love, who perished during flight training. Love had no connection to the area, but it was the norm at the time to honor Army aviators who perished in flight. The City of Dallas purchased the property in 1927 and began using it commercially. It remained the primary airport in the area until DFW opened it 1974. ---
