The FBI agreed Tuesday to make public the final 10 documents about the
surveillance of John Lennon that it had withheld for 25 years from a
University of California, Irvine historian on the grounds that releasing
them could cause "military retaliation against the United States."

Despite the fierce battle the government waged to keep the documents
secret, the files contain information that is hardly shocking, just new
details about Lennon's ties to New Left leaders and antiwar groups in
London in the early 1970s, said the historian, Jon Wiener.
