Soon a band struck up lively dance music in the adjoining Vladimir Hall. First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan, that scowling Old Bolshevik who helped the Soviets take over in Baku, led off with an Armenian solo. Then blonde Minister of Culture Ekaterina Furtseva, only woman on the top Presidium, danced decorously out on the arm of President Leonid Brezhnev.

With 2:20 to go Beckett gave the Crimson a seemingly insurmountable 5-4 lead on a near-perfect breakaway solo. After jumping the defensemen Beckett took a pas from Dave Morse. Picking up the puck just over the red line, Beckett steamed down the ice and beat the goalie...
