After two decades of sparring with the Soviet authorities, hard rock had triumphantly taken the Lenin stage. The occasion was the premiere of the country's first rock opera, Juno and Avos, by Alexei Rybnikov, a popular composer of movie scores. In addition to guitars, violins, cellos, drum and a chorus of 16, Rybnikov called for electronic instruments-including a Multimoog synthesizer and a Roland paraphonic-rarely used before...

Everybody was going 'Ooooh,' as if they were watching a Fourth 2 of July display. All I could think about was running...
...Paul Freeman) and slow death (eagerly threatened by No. 2 menace, Ronald Lacey). If Indiana finds a secret passage out of a sealed tomb, you may be sure he's soon going to have to grapple with a goon amid whirling airplane propellers-and then, bloodied and bushed, roar off on a spectacular chase.
