Wars of the Roses show their loyalty to the Lancastrian or Yorkist faction respectively. It is often suggested by literary critics that Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" has strong allegorical references to the conflict with York represented by the White Queen and Lancaster represented by the Red Queen. The Yorkist faction used the symbol of the white rose from early in the conflict, but the Lancastrian red rose was apparently introduced only after the victory of Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth, when it was combined with the Yorkist white rose to form the Tudor rose, which symbolised the union of the
What the World Needs Now Is Love assassination, and Martin Luther King, Jr., and soundbites of news coverage of each assassination. The ending of the song is a reprise of the introduction. "What the World Needs Now is Love/Abraham, Martin and John" rose to No. 8 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in August 1971, and was Clay's only Top 40 hit. "What the World Needs Now is Love" has been used in many film soundtracks, notably "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" and "For the Love of Fred" (used as the film's closing theme song in both), "", "My Best Friend's Wedding", "", "The Boss Baby",
