From Brussels, Nixon went on to London, where he drove with Prime Minister Harold Wilson past small cheering crowds in roadside villages to Chequers, in Buckinghamshire, for dinner before returning to his suite at Claridge's. Though Nixon and Wilson had met before, this was their first get-together as President and Prime Minister, and the two got on very well. They are similar in many ways: both are rather homely in looks and style, solid and well-disciplined men, who attain and exercise power by organization and tenacity rather than brilliance or charisma.

...this seems unhappily reminiscent not only of the Dark Ages but of what Sir Harold Nicolson called the "wolflike habits" of the Italian Renaissance, when Niccolo Machiavelli lectured Medici princes on the judicious use of power and perfidy. In those days, diplomats were regarded as no better than spies. An envoy's status abroad, in fact, was hardly assured until the Congress of Vienna established a European balance of power in 1815.

After talks in Bonn with Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson jetted to West Berlin for a seven-hour visit. "We shall continue -you can count on this-to do all that is in our power to ensure that your freedom is preserved," he said on television. Berliners were pleased and somewhat reassured. But they were even more pleased by the prospect of next week's visit...
