| Death of Brian Epstein (1967) |
 |
Brian Samuel Epstein (born in Liverpool, England;
19 September 1934 -- 27 August 1967) was the
manager of The Beatles. He also managed several
other musical artists such as Gerry & The
Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, and
Cilla Black.
The Beatles recorded a demo in Decca's
studios—paid for by Epstein—which he later
persuaded George Martin to listen to. Epstein was
then offered a contract (after Martin had
auditioned the group) by EMI's small Parlophone
label, even though they had previously been
rejected by almost every other British record
company.
Epstein died of an accidental drug overdose at his
home in London in August 1967. The Beatles' early
success has been attributed to Epstein's
management and sense of style. Paul McCartney said
of Epstein: "If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it
was Brian.

The Authors@Google program was pleased to welcome
Helen Epstein to Google's New York office to
discuss her book, "The Invisible Cure: Africa, the
West, and the Fight Against AIDS".
From Macmillan: "Helen Epstein writes frequently
on public health for various publications
including The New York Review of Books and The New
York Times Magazine. She is currently a visiting
research scholar at the Center for Health and
Wellbeing at Princeton University."
From Publisher's Weekly: "Epstein, a public health
specialist and molecular biologist who has worked
on AIDS vaccine research, overturns many of our
received notions about why AIDS is rampant in
Africa and what to do about it. She charges that
Western governments and philanthropists, though
well-meaning, have been wholly misguided, and that
Africans themselves, who understand their own
cultures, often know best how to address HIV in
their communities."
This event took place on August 29, 2008.
