...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.

There will also be talks (probably inconclusive) about divided Korea, Sino-Soviet relations...

American soldiers freeze in grotesque command postures. A theater explodes and its audience flees, losing intestines en route. Slum kids piss on a child-exploiting businesswoman's car. The connecting tissue doesn't equal the fragments, but these fragments are hard-edged stuff...
