"Gimme Some Truth" Book

Yahoo Daily News and Reuters reported that Yoko told Britain's "Independent on Sunday" newspaper that she lives in fear for herself and the two sons of John Lennon. U.S. parole authorities are preparing to consider the possible release of Mark Chapman, the so-called fan who shot John in the back outside John and Yoko's New York City apartment on December, 1980.

Fears for the other surviving Beatles have risen sharply since a knife-wielding intruder broke into the English country home of George Harrison last month and stabbed him.

Yoko , confessing her fears in a statement to the British newspaper said: ``Unlike in the Sixties, when it was easier to live our idealism, our recent history shows how we live in very different times.

``Knowing that our close friend and his family have been subjected to a violent incident, I am naturally most concerned about the safety of Julian and Sean.

``I am of course concerned for my safety as well and the safety of many of our friends who are also in the limelight.''

But she firmly denied British media speculation that she had fallen out with Lennon's sons over whether Chapman should be released.

``Contrary to what has been said in the British press, Julian, Sean and I have had no discussion yet about the possible parole of Chapman and therefore there has been no feud among us regarding our views on the subject,'' she said. ``I am not being indecisive. I am thinking as to how I could best serve the outcome.''
