SINCE NIXON himself only talks about politics in relation to football, we have to look at what other Americans with political views similar to those of the President have said about their trips to China. Joseph Alsop, the war hawk columnist, recently returned from China with praise for the Chinese experiment similar to the celebrated commendation of fascist Italy made forty years ago: "The trains run on time...

Through it all, Lawrence wrote up to six columns a week, and it was as a columnist that he was best known; in the late '50s, more than 350 papers carried his opinions. These views infuriated many and often puzzled even his admirers. He called himself a Wilsonian liberal. That brand, he said, was "true liberalism." His positions on domestic affairs generally reflected the right wing of the Republican Party. Though an enrolled Democrat, Lawrence supported the re-election of Hoover in 1932 (because it was "dangerous to change parties in mid-Depression") and stayed with every subsequent Republican...

Alsop has been privately irked by suggestions that his highly favorable columns on China signaled a new-found admiration for the Communist system. In a letter to the Washington Post, for example, John Kenneth Galbraith asked in mock wonder whether the "distinguished columnist, Mr. Chou En-alsop" was related to "Captain Joe Alsop," who for years had dismissed Chinese Communists as simply an "appendage" of the Soviet Union...

Since World War II, New York Times Columnist C.L. Sulzberger has been prowling Europe's corridors of power, acquiring a broad acquaintance with Poo-Bahs, potentates, foreign ministers and heads of state. Presented in daily print, the fruits of his labors have customarily shown more care than flare, and a neutral observer might have assumed that if Sulzberger ever got round to a novel, it would be one of those ponderous constructions that bore the reader while portentously trading on the author's expertise...
