Mal Evans' Diary

In my June 24th. post, I talked about Mal Evans' diary that was never published.  I found a Sunday London Times article of March 20, 2005 that summarizes the diary and has excerpts.  According to the journalist, Mark Edmonds, a cleaner found a trunk with Evans' diaries among other things in the basement of a New York city publisher in 1986.  The cleaner contacted Yoko Ono who arranged to have the memorabilia shipped back to his family in London.  Evans' widow kept the diaries in her attic for years and finally let The Times see and comment on them.

Edmonds' summary is short on details for the crucial period of 1966 and it still would be great if an uncensored complete copy of Evans' diaries would be published.  That is assuming Evans didn't censor himself.
