Beethoven had his 65-minute Ninth Symphony, Bach his two-hour B Minor Mass. But for Soviet Composer Aram Khachaturian, a three-minute piece of tuneless orchestral blooey has been enough to establish a worldwide reputation.

While Britain's Prince Philip and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aram looked on, Pakistan's chief justice pronounced an oath's solemn words. Outside, a 21-gun salute boomed across the green Potwar Plateau. So last week Mohammed Ayub Khan, 57, was inaugurated as Pakistan's first elected President...
