High on the summit agenda was a discussion of how to improve trade relations, specifically a way to resolve the problem of frozen assets held by both sides. A longer-range possibility is that the U.S. might grant most-favored-nation status to China. Until now, the highly restrictive emigration policies practiced by both China and the U.S.S.R. have prevented those countries from benefiting from M.F.N. status, under the terms of the 1973 Jackson-Vanik Amendment.

No longer will there be families badly broken, disunited...
...Square Deal, Fair Deal, New Deal, and New Federalism. When the "theme" wears thin, Carter can stir up wars and skillfully avoid them, or win them, and he can play with the economy to make us feel more prosperous than we ever will be. But the Georgian is no longer the man who can walk up to a three-year-old, smile a good-old-boy-two-sets-of-teeth-smile and say, "Why shucks, I don't even rightly recollect as I know where Washington is." And he can kiss the black, poor, urban vote goodbye, without getting many...
