...this age of electronic marvels, everyone is familiar with the way television, the daily newspapers, and newsmagazines such as TIME can quickly round up the impact of an important news event on capitals round the world.

Tokyo's Shimbun warned that Mikoyan's "parrotings of repeated threats by Premier Khrushchev" were no way to "make any sales." In a slap at a visiting statesman that was unprecedented for the polite Japanese, Ikeda's party issued a statement branding Mikoyan's threats as an "interference in Japan's domestic affairs." It went on to hint that Mikoyan might very well...
