Beatlemania: A moment in time never to be repeated

FILE - This Feb. 7, 1964 file photo shows fans pushing forward in hopes of getting a view of The Beatles after their arrival for an American tour in New York. Sunday marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ performance on “Ed Sullivan,” their first appearance in America. Nielsen says 45 percent of all TV sets in use at the time were tuned into the broadcast, with fans and the uninitiated alike gathered shoulder to shoulder in their living rooms.
