...will be inaudible. Meanwhile, top Russian Composer Tikhon Khrennikov, who toured the U.S. last month (TIME, Nov. 23) with four other leading Soviet musicians, spoke out on his impressions of popular capitalist music. Most jazz musicians, including Trumpeter Louis ("Satchmo") Armstrong, he adjudged "vulgar, unnatural and in anything but good taste."

But Moss, who had earlier broken the speed limit and outraced an enraged sheriff on his way to the track, slowed to a halt on the fifth lap in an ooze of black smoke from a crippled gearbox.
