Nobody got particularly excited when Palmer bogeyed Olympic's par-four tenth hole, cutting his lead over Casper to six strokes-especially after both golfers parred the eleventh hole and birdied the twelfth.

Yet even if Soviet automakers reach the goal-some 800,000 units a year-output would still amount to little more than one-twelfth of the U.S. production...
