Covering the vast, hostile, sealed-off country, as we have noted before in this space, is an exercise akin to wartime intelligence work. With only one North American correspondent (Canadian David Oancia) and a handful of Western reporters at work in China, it is necessary to monitor radio broadcasts, meticulously follow the Chinese press, interview diplomats and businessmen who have recently emerged from inside. Hong Kong is the main center for this activity, but other busy China-watching posts include Tokyo, Washington, London, Paris, Vienna, and the Communist capitals of Eastern Europe.

...arrived, it has been tailed by one or another of the snoopy Soviet trawlers. Equipped with sophisticated electronic gear, the Russian "skunks" (as they are pungently known in Navy parlance) keep a close watch on U.S. air operations, flash their information to beleaguered Hanoi, and do their best to monitor the radars and radios of American ships and planes.
