...impression of blissful discovery. Part of the conductor's complete cycle of the Tchaikovsky symphonies, this LP is highly recommended, even if it lacks the suavity of Lorin Maazel and the Vienna Philharmonic and even if the Moscow Radio Symphony is not quite the equal, say, of the Lenin grad Philharmonic...
During the rest of his life, DuBois travelled extensively through the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. He was awarded the Stalin Peace Prize in 1952, the Lenin Peace Prize in 1959 and that same year was honored by Chou En-lai at a birthday dinner in Peking...
...Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev and other Soviet leaders stood impassively on the marble Lenin mausoleum overlooking Red Square last week, loudspeakers boomed out the Kremlin's May Day greeting to the Soviet people.

That Madrid joke about ailing Generalissimo Francisco Franco, 82, would be merely crude were it not for the fact that it reflects a deep-rooted bitterness. After 35 years of living under a dictatorial regime notable mostly for its rigid stability, many Spaniards these days are worried about both the erratic course of the Franco regime and el Caudillo 's ability to run the country...
