Heritage Auctions of Dallas is auctioning a copy of The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album autographed by all four band members. From left, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison in 1967.
Bids soar for album signed by Beatles ADVANCE BIDS FOR a copy of The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album autographed by all four band members are even higher than the auction house anticipated. Dallas-based Heritage Auctions said Friday that bidding for the 1967 album has reached $110,500 and could surpass $150,000 by the March 30 auction. Heritage originally estimated
the album would go for around $30,000. The Beatles signed the album on the gatefold above their heads. The auction company’s consignment director, Garry Shrum, said there’s no telling when an autograph of such quality will show up again, and “people are responding to that.” Bids started at $15,000 and include the buyer’s premium.

JOE WEIDER, 93, a legendary figure in bodybuilding who helped popularize the sport worldwide and played a key role in introducing a charismatic young weightlifter named Arnold Schwarzenegger to the world, died Saturday. Mr. Weider’s publicist, Charlotte Parker, told The Associated Press that the bodybuilder, Mr. Weider publisher in 2011 and promoter died of heart failure at his home in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley. A bodybuilder with an impressive physique himself, Mr. Weider became better known in later years as a behind-the-scenes guru to the sport. He popularized bodybuilding and spread the message of health and fitness worldwide with such publications as Muscle & Fitness, Flex and Shape. Schwarzenegger is the executive editor of Muscle & Fitness and Flex. Mr. Weider created one of bodybuilding’s pre-eminent events, the Mr. Olympia competition, in 1965, adding to it the Ms. Olympia contest in 1980, the Fitness Olympia in 1995 and the Figure Olympia in 2003. He also relentlessly promoted Schwarzenegger, who won the Mr. Olympia title a then-record seven times, including in 1980

TODAY IS MONDAY, March 25, the 84th day of 2013. There are 281 days left in the year. The Jewish holiday Passover begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight in History: ■ On March 25, 1965, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led 25,000 marchers to the state capitol in Montgomery, Ala., to protest the denial of voting rights to blacks. On this date: ■ In 1306, Robert the Bruce was crowned the King of Scots. ■ In 1634, English colonists sent by Lord Baltimore arrived in present-day Maryland. ■ In 1776, Gen. George Wash-
ington, commander of the Continental Army, was awarded the first Congressional Gold Medal by the Continental Congress. ■ In 1865, during the Civil War, Confederate forces attacked Fort Stedman in Virginia but were forced to withdraw because of counterattacking Union troops. ■ In 1894, Jacob S. Coxey began leading an “army” of unemployed from Massillon, Ohio, to Washington, D.C., to demand help from the federal government. ■ In 1911, 146 people, mostly young female immigrants, were killed when fire broke out at the Tri-
angle Shirtwaist Co. in New York. ■ In 1947, a coal mine explosion in Centralia, Ill., killed 111. ■ In 1988, in New York City’s so-called “Preppie Killer” case, Robert Chambers Jr. pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the death of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin. Chambers received a sentence of five to 15 years in prison. He was released in 2003. ■ In 1990, 87 people, most of them Honduran and Dominican immigrants, were killed when fire raced through an illegal social club in New York City. ■ Ten years ago: Former
Waterbury, Conn., mayor Philip Giordano was convicted by a federal jury of violating the civil rights of two preteen girls by sexually abusing them. Giordano was later sentenced to 37 years in federal prison. ■ Five years ago: Herb Peterson, the inventor of McDonald’s Egg McMuffin, died in Santa Barbara, Calif., at age 89. ■ One year ago: Pope Benedict XVI, on his first trip to Latin America, urged Mexicans to wield their faith against drug violence, poverty and other ills, celebrating Mass before a sea of worshippers in Silao.
