Is it forgotten in Peking that Nixon built his early career on witch-hunting and climbed to the Senate and vice-presidency on the backs of "appeasers in the State Department" who sold China to Russia?

Had this been done, they contend-and many observers agree-the U.S. might have been spared two wars-in Korea and Indochina. Drummed out of the service at that time for their views, they...
