...arrangements were pure Mao dynasty. All 19 excursionists were carefully chosen on the basis of docility: reporters from Pravda, Tass, Poland's Trybuna Ludu, North Korean news agencies, Britain's Red Sheep Alan Winnington (the London Daily Worker), along with Author Anna Louise Strong, doyenne of U.S. Red-liners, who was accused by the Kremlin in 1949 of working against Communism-an error for which Moscow later abjectly apologized.

...Office of Education urged all schools to begin ten years of language in the third grade, the most sound-sensing age level (all Russian children begin in the fifth grade). This year Washington, D.C. is starting third-grade French and Spanish. Hawaii's elementary schools will teach Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Tagalog.

All San Francisco high schools are switching language study from the formal grammar approach...
