Woman stole €155 perfume

A SHOPLIFTER stole two bottles of perfume worth ¤155 from a department store because she was short of cash.

Susan Harta (36) took the perfume and sold them to another person to make money, claiming she is forced to steal to survive.

Judge John Lindsay ordered Harta of Burnell Green, Northern Cross, Malahide Road, Dublin 17, to pay €155 in compensation to the shop and to donate €95 to the Children's Sunshine House Hospital Fund.

She admitted before Dun Laoghaire District Court to theft at Debenhams, Frascati Shopping Centre, Blackrock, on March 18 last year.

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
