...Argentina than any other foreign correspondent; through the Cuban embassy in Argentina, Kung's men dispense propaganda leaflets and arrange tours to China (120 visitors in 1958, 250 last year) for Argentine lawyers, doctors, newspapermen and artists. In Uruguay it all began in December 1958 with a Chinese circus. Then came the Sino-Uruguayan Cultural Association and the regular exchange of "cultural groups."

"You all know the elephants in the circus--little imagination and long memory--how each hangs on to the tail of the one in front. Well, in 1952 and 1956, Dick Nixon hung on to that tail, but this year he's running alone."
