...Soviet citizens, Mark and Natasha Frazer live extremely well. Their five-room apartment in a new building in the center of Moscow has a TV set, an upright piano and a big black dog named Doll. Instead of buying the shoddy, ill-fitting Russian clothes, the family imports its wardrobe from London. Mark, whose Russian is excellent, goes regularly to his job as editor of the Soviet monthly, International Affairs; Natasha edits the translations of Russian stories in the biweekly English-language newspaper, Moscow News. Their children. Fergus, 13, Donald, 11, and Melinda, 6, have spent three years at Soviet...

...have to get some sort of signal system working. Our cars go too fast." But there were other things to think about when race day dawned fine, dry and made for speed. On the dot of 4 p.m. the 60 sports-car entrants-among them, Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Frazer-Nash, Maserati, Cunningham-began the 24-hour run. Right after getaway they whipped past the grandstand into the sharp Tertre Rouge turn, roared on down the straightaway on a four-mile dash toward the Mulsanne hairpin, and on around the 8.38 mile circuit past the White House...
