On March 28, 2007, Yarrow was involved in a strange incident in Washington, D.C. In the early morning hours, Yarrow walked into the home of Tony Kornheiser, a sportswriter for the Washington Post. Kornheiser's wife, Karril, confronted the stranger, who at that point began apologizing for his mistake and identified himself as being with Peter, Paul, and Mary. He claimed that he was looking for a house with the same address but on a nearby street and that his confused condition was the result of jet lag. He left, and the police were not called. Karril Kornheiser did not awaken her husband, who later said on his radio show they could have talked about songs, such as Puff the Magic Dragon. Kornheiser further speculated that because Yarrow had not contacted him to apologize for the incident, the person must have been the "Peter Yarrow burglar", a burglar whose method is to impersonate Peter Yarrow in order to avoid capture. On April 6, 2007, Peter Yarrow called in to the Tony Kornheiser Radio Show, verified Karril's description of the events, and apologized for the mishap. He said he was disoriented that morning after a long flight from Israel. is the 87th day of the year (88th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
