...tourist. TIME Sport Writer B.J. Phillips, in Moscow and accredited to cover the Games, was to be my mail drop. She said she would not be hard to spot. She had broken an ankle three days before leaving the U.S., and was creeping around Moscow on two canes, one wood, one steel. We were supposed to meet secretly in Pushkin Square, where I would palm my copy to her. The day of our rendezvous I looked at my handwritten report (it was thought wise to leave my portable typewriter at home) and found it indecipherable even to my own eyes...
...wealthy industrialized nations, the study predicts adequate supplies of oil and other energy sources through 1990, but even before then the poor nations will experience serious shortages, with the outlook particularly bleak for the one-quarter of humanity dependent primarily on wood for fuel.

Watts singlehandedly saves at least two songs on the album from mediocrity, and lifts one to brilliance. The bass playing is at times superb, and probably Ron Wood's; elsewhere it is merely workmanlike, and probably Bill Wyman's. Over the years the Stones have acquired a nonpareil corps of sidemen, and sax Bobby Keys, harmonica Sugar Blue, and keyboards Nicky "Jamming with Edward" Hopkins and Ian Stewart perform with their customary elan. The production and mix are dazzling...
