PAUL MCCARTNEY MARRIES AMERICAN IN LONDON

LONDON (AP) -- A hint of autumnal Beatlemania was in the air Sunday as Paul McCartney - for the second time in his improbable life - climbed the steps of Old Marylebone Town Hall to take himself a bride.

Eager to share his joy with the crowd gathered at the hall, he raised the hand of his bride, Nancy Shevell, in triumph as he walked down the steps after they had become man and wife at a simple civil ceremony attended by close family and friends, including drummer Ringo Starr and TV journalist Barbara Walters, a second cousin of the bride.
