...Along with the welcoming crowds appeared another new phenomenon: aggressive industrial workers who elbowed their way up to Nixon to do some well-rehearsed heckling. Soviet Cultural Exchange Boss Georgy A. Zhukov all but admitted that the hecklers were government plants-a form of revenge for some of the rebuffs handed to Mikoyan and Kozlov during their U.S. visits.
