...President lingered to find out that they lived near the Okefenokee Swamp. "I know where it is," he told them, adding: "Dry it out." The royal band, which had expected the President to arrive by limousine, was nonplused when he approached by foot. It started playing The Star-Spangled Banner when he was outside the gate-and played it twice again as he lingered to chat...
...NATO allies that the third summit was certainly the friendliest and most relaxed. After weeks of intermittent rain, the Moscow summer finally arrived with Nixon Thursday afternoon, and warm, 82° sunshine sparkled off the presidential plane as it rolled up the runway at Vmukovo Airport. A huge banner said WELCOME PRESIDENT NIXON in English.

A nervous West German government has spent millions of marks to prevent terrorists from seizing the Cup as their latest forum for guerrilla attacks...
Since then, Nixon has been the recipient of daily hell and very little trust. He has responded in kind, attempting whenever possible to depict journalists as biased sensationmongers. In a TV speech ten weeks ago, Nixon protested that "the wildest accusations have been given banner headlines and ready credence as well." He was correct about the headlines. What Nixon did not mention is that most of the "wild accusations" about Watergate have turned out to be true. Considering the complexity of the material and the Administration's obfuscation, it is striking how few important factual errors have appeared...
