Because John Kennedy flew to Vienna 18 years ago to meet with Nikita Khrushchev, that mission is most in mind as Carter prepares for a similar journey. The U.S. was buoyant then, Kennedy young and cocky. But even with our huge margin of terror still intact, J.F.K. was shaken by Khrushchev's seeming indifference to nuclear confrontation.

If it should be perceived as a flop in the future, opponents could conceivably use it against him, much as the Cuban missile crisis was used against Khrushchev. Some diplomats noted that last week another, lesser known Vice Premier, Li Hsien-nien, had assumed an expanded role as Peking's spokesman...
