Even the trip, at the outset, seemed plagued by snafus. A Kissinger statement on a stopover in London hinting at "indirect military aid" to the Rhodesian rebels was misinterpreted, and the White House promptly shot it down, suggesting-falsely as it turned out -that there might be policy differences on Africa between Kissinger and President Ford.

He thus joins a very select group of ideological villains who have been specifically denounced in China's waves of usually indirect criticism. Among the others: former Head of State Liu Shao-ch'i, the chief victim of the Cultural Revolution of 1966-69, and former Defense Minister Lin Piao, who allegedly plotted to assassinate...
