and Epstein launched Maximus Enterprises Ltd., (now that Stramsact and Seltaeb were dissolved) to try to capitalize on the merchandising boom, but by this time the interest of many corporations had wilted following the Seltaeb debacle. Also at this time, Lennon had enraged part of the American fan-base with his suggestion that The Beatles were "more popular than Jesus." Epstein was well aware that his own contract was up for renewal with the band in August 1967, and he feared with all of this bad timing on business issues and his keeping the truth about Seltaeb hid that the group would not renew his services.

question gone unanswered by the man who promised an explanation, “What actually does makes a republic tick?”. Joseph Epstein, in his very poorly named article “Machiavelli Explains What Makes Republics Tick”, does not actually talk about a republic, but instead ecompasess the quinecential Machiavellian style in order to give readers a proper understanding of the classic era without reading the work firsthand.

the fact that Freddie Mercury is indeed that greatest singer of all time. With his 4-octave vocal range to his vocal transparency, and with his vocal dynamics, proves that he is in fact the greatest of all time. “A killer queen” and “dynamite with a laser beam”, perhaps Freddie was referring to his own powerful vocal presence with these lyrics.
