...Nevelson manages, by prolonged and single-minded concentration on work, to annul the prejudice against women, it is assumed that she has "transcended the limits" of her sexual class.

Conveniently timed for mass TV viewing Sunday night in the U.S.-Monday morning in Peking-this would be the first of the television spectaculars on a mission in which television rated a high priority in the White House planning. Although the White House refused to confirm any details, it was certain that Premier Chou En-lai would meet Nixon at the airport, and TV screens then would record a strange sight: Nixon, the champion of capitalism, riding with Chou in an official black Hongchi (Red Flag) car and entering Tienanmen Square.
