Last week too, the Nixon party returned from behind the Iron Curtain with a big conclusion that helped put the U.S.S.R. and the cold war into clearer focus: the economic gap between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. is still enormous. Because that gap strikes the eye hard, visits to the U.S. by Soviet officials work to the U.S.'s advantage.
