The 45, with only three minutes to sell its wares, relies on the babbling lyrics and thudding beat of rock 'n' roll and kindred styles. But the LP provides time for the leisurely display of stylists and songs, has pushed the outer age limit of pop record buyers into the 405, and now accounts for two-thirds of cash pop sales...

This cheating, chiefly from government warehouses or government stores, and what the regime calls hooliganism" are the only emotional outlets. Teen-agers annoy old ladies in movies, wind up hard-drinking rock-'n'-roll sessions by jeering at, sometimes battling, cops in the street. The stirrings of intellectuals and the riots of youths have flowered into rebellion in Hungary and a fight for freedom in Poland. But Czechs, subject to foreigners for much of their history, have no tradition of rebellion (their state was handed...
