Notes: The longest Apple interview from this day was with New York Times reporter Gloria Emerson. This confrontational encounter
saw Emerson challenge Lennon and Ono on their peace initiatives, calling them self-promotional stunts. Lennon countered the
accusation by describing them as preferable to "manifestos written by a lot of half-witted intellectuals" that were ineffective and went unread.

Lennon points out that "Give Peace A Chance" had been sung by hundreds of protesters at a recent anti-war moratorium in
Washington, DC. This fails to sway Emerson, however, and she eventually walks out, interrupting Ono with the words: "Mrs Lennon, we`re boring each other, so I`ll go away. Happily."

This outtake footage from the interview can be seen in the Above Us Only Sky documentary.
