...opposed any legal action in the belief that the Government's case might make Carmichael a martyr and would probably not hold up in court. Thus, when-and if-Carmichael finally does return to Hell, U.S.A., the most that he is likely to suffer is confiscation of his passport. Reason: as a U.S. citizen he broke the State Department's rule against trips to Cuba and North Viet...
...greeted in French by an Intourist guide. Although he speaks German, Hungarian, and some Italian and Spanish, Rademaekers has no facility in French. He asked the guide if she spoke English or any of the other languages. "No," she informed him coldly. "You are French."

I was stopped several times by Red Guards who demanded identification and were only slightly mollified when I produced my passport. The Westerner is always aware of simmering malevolence toward him. While some still exhibit traditional Chinese graciousness, there are many more who shout obscenities at foreigners as they walk the streets. Hostile crowds sometimes surrounded me, and people shouted: "What are you doing here, white devil?" Practically no one smiles...
