...neglected to mention some differences of opinion-particularly in trade policy toward Communist nations. One thing that Home did inherit from Macmillan was a belief that Khrushchev has renounced nuclear war as an instrument of foreign policy, and that the West would be better served by dealing with a fat Communist than with a lean and hungry one.
