THE BEAT GOES ON

LONDON—In order to take everyone's mind off the impending world war between Russia and China, the Who have sequestered themselves in this hallowed hamlet in preparation for a "majoir announcement." And while no one will confirm or deny rumors of another verbal battle between Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, they are assuring us all that said "announcement" will probably involve a limited U.S. tour early this summer, as well as the unveiling of a new band lineup.
